42 New York Yankees Trivia Questions for Fans of the Bronx Bombers

Anyone from New York City knows there’s one team and only one team.

The team that stands above the rest is the New York Yankees.

Between their immortal logo, their iconic pinstripes, and their immortal history of World Series wins, it’s impossible not to love the Yankees. If you’re ready to live up to that history, test your knowledge with these Yankees trivia questions and answers.
