Someone emailed me this link, and apparently they found it from our friends over at River Ave. Blues. It’s a Sporcle quiz that asks a very simple question:
Can you name the players who played a game for the New York Yankees in 2011?
If you’ve never done anything with Sporcle, it’s incredibly simple. Basically, you have 10 minutes to type in the last name of every player who got into a game for the Yankees this season.
I’ll give you a hint: The guy in the picture above is one of them.
It took me less than two and a half minutes to get all but four names. Those last four were all relief pitchers, and three of them were lefties. Getting those last four took a while, but with 2:31 to go I typed in the last player I needed. It’s harder than you might think. You start out like a tornado of Yankees knowledge, then you hit an immovable wall. That was my experience anyway.
Good way to kill a few minutes on a Saturday afternoon in mid-November.

only got 30…forgot jorge, hughes and wade…took me 7:59 to spell tex.
The only one I’m upset about missing was Boone Logan. I forgot a lot of the pitchers that showed up over the course of the season.
solomoro helped….
Hey great quiz – got about half – how about this one? If you can remember just ONE Yankee since 2000 for each letter of the alphabet http://www.sporcle.com/games/c.....t_eligible
I missed 8 and they were all relievers who pitched less than 11 games… including Proctor. Maybe I was just trying to block him from memory *shudders*
Can you name the 2012 Yankees?

Ummmm you all ever heard of Baseball-Reference.com?
You go to the 2011 New York Yankees page on there, copy the entire roster, paste it in a word document, get rid of everything but the player names, arrange the names in a list, copy the list, then paste it in your answer.
Jeez.
It’s not a test so it’s not cheating : )
