Trivia Tuesday: Mickey Mantle Edition (with a prize!)

Like many out there, we're very excited about the new book by Jane Leavy "The Last Boy: Mickey Mantle and the End of America's Childhood". Ben W is diligently reading it and taking notes for a review on the blog but in the meantime, we'll be giving out three copies at three separate times to make sure everyone gets a chance to win. But to know when we're giving it out, you're going to have to be visiting the blog quite a bit in the next week so you don't miss out on any opportunities.

Here is the first chance: Mickey Mantle is the all-time leader in home runs by a switch hitter. Behind him on the all-time switch-hitting home run list there are 7 other players in the top 13 who played for the Yankees. To win the first copy of the book, name any 5 out of those 7.

Put your answer in the comments below. One guess per person. The person with the first correct guess wins the book  I will announce the first winner later. You have to put down 5 guesses to be win the prize. Good luck and make sure to come back here all this week for more chances to win this great book.

  2. And we have a winner! Richard ends it on the first guess! The one he missed was Tony Clark who briefly played for the Yankees during the forgettable 2004 season. Congrats to Richard (who should e-mail me so he can claim his prize) and for the rest of you, stay tuned here at NYaT for a chance to win the other 2 books!
