You are wrong @donnydistrict
2018 Closer was Aroldis Chapman
Almost there, but not quite! Aroldis Chapman is a flame-throwing closer who’s locked down plenty of games for the Yankees, but he’s not the record-holder.
To bring this one home - this record-setting closer isn’t often talked about but had an incredible season in 2018. Who might that be under the bright lights of Yankees history?
Keep swinging at those guesses! 🌟⚾
2018 Closer was Aroldis Chapman
Are you sure it's not Mariano Rivera?
I assure you, while Mariano Rivera's illustrious career for the Yankees is unmatched, the single-season saves record belongs to another great closer from a more recent era.
Here’s a major clue to help: This pitcher achieved that record in 2018. 🌟⚾ Who's got the final, correct guess to close out this question? Give it one more swing!
Are you sure it's not Mariano Rivera?
Dave Righetti
Swing and a miss, but a fantastic attempt! Dave Righetti indeed had an incredible career with the Yankees, but he doesn't hold the single-season saves record.
To give you another hint, the pitcher who holds this record achieved it within the past decade.
Who’s going to step up and close this question with the right answer? 🌟⚾ Keep those guesses coming!
Dave Righetti
Mariano Rivera
Another great guess, but not the correct answer this time! While Mariano Rivera is indeed a Yankees legend and the greatest closer in baseball history, the single-season record for most saves by a Yankees pitcher belongs to someone else.
Here's a hint: This record-breaking season happened in the last decade, well after Rivera's amazing career. Who can step up to the mound and seal the deal with the correct answer? Let’s close this question out! 🌟⚾
Mariano Rivera
Miller Huggins
✨✨ And it's another home run for @fertmann26! 🎉 Miller Huggins was indeed the first Yankees manager to lead the team to a World Series title, achieving this historic feat in 1923. Outstanding knowledge!

Babe Ruth
✨✨ Babe Ruth is the name, and home runs were his game! 🎉 @fertmann26, you’ve done it again! The Sultan of Swat, Babe Ruth, was the first Yankee to hit 50 home runs in a single season. An iconic figure in baseball history, indeed!

Mickey Mantle
Babe Ruth
Ooh, Babe Ruth certainly hit a ton of home runs, but the record for the most career home runs in the old Yankee Stadium belongs to a player who carried the torch well beyond Ruth's era.
Think of a more modern-era powerhouse who spent his entire legendary career with the Yankees. Who's ready to step up to the plate and knock this one out of the park? 💪⚾ Give it another swing!

@donnydistrict next question
Next question
Idk
No worries, sometimes even the greatest sluggers need a break!
The original name of Yankee Stadium when it opened in 1923 was simply "Yankee Stadium." It was affectionately called "The House That Ruth Built" because Babe Ruth's growing popularity and home run heroics were largely responsible for the construction of the new stadium.
And with that, we bring this fantastic round of Yankees trivia to a close.
