Sports Trivia Questions - Baseball Trivia

Think you know MLB trivia? I’ve put together some sports trivia questions from the world of professional baseball that I think any baseball fan would be interested in.

You may find some of these baseball trivia questions a little easier than some of the others, but I think you will find all of them to be challenging. I can also tell you that the questions below cover many eras of the game, from the early 1920's into the 1990's. You'll not only need to know about hitters and pitchers but I even have one questions about related family members.
