Earlier this week we asked our writers to share their favorite Yankees trivia question. WE are running these questions over the next several days.


Name the very first member of the Yankees franchise (dating back to 1903) to have been a Major League leader in home runs for a single season.




Answer...


Tim Jordan.


He played two games for the 1903 Highlanders. In 1906, he played with with Brooklyn. That year he hit 12 homers to lead the National League.


(Note - I just "discovered" this fact by looking at old Yankees rosters. I am confident that the question and the answer is correct, but I welcome other information if this is not correct.)

"This charming and meticulously researched book will remind you of baseball’s power to change and enrich lives far beyond the diamond."

—Jonathan Eig, New York Times best-selling author of Luckiest Man, Opening Day, and Ali: A Life

"A young man from Compton rises to the highest levels of baseball greatness.

​

Considered one of the classiest baseball players ever, this is Roy White's story, but it's also the story of a unique period in baseball history when the Yankees fell from grace and regained glory and the country dealt with societal changes in many ways."
