Real Yankees fans can fill in legendary Babe Ruth trade details in this tough quiz

Trade deadline season is over, and while Brian Cashman didn't deliver the goods that most New York Yankees fans were hoping for, that should only make us more nostalgic for blockbuster trades past.

The Yankees have participated in plenty of these over the years - but how well do you remember them, and how closely do you follow the rest of the league?

Try your hand at the quiz below, where you're asked to fill in the missing element from 30 of history's most impactful trades. And yes, early spoiler alert, one of them involves the sale of Babe Ruth, who slid over from the Red Sox to the Yankees all so that owner Harry Frazee could help finance a broadway production.

Sounds a little bit like the financial mess that Mark Walter's got criss-crossing the Los Angeles Dodgers' payroll these days, but who are we to judge?

How many of MLB's greatest trades can you fill in the full details of, Yankees fans?

Once the clock begins, you've got five minutes to match the player to the transaction he was a part of. There are ample opportunities to get nostalgic along the way "remembering some guys," but don't get tripped up for too long - clock's ticking.

Other noteworthy Yankees who show up in the quiz include Rickey Henderson, who really did deserve a World Series for his exemplary efforts in pinstripes, but will always be remembered as an Athletic, along with Roger Clemens and Randy Johnson, two aces who defied the sands of time.

Get all 30 right, and you belong on the pedestal as a certified news-breaker alongside Jeff Passan. Nail 25? That's enough to earn you the Bob Nightengale Silver Medal. 20 is a totally fine, C+ job - which is also how Brian Cashman's trade deadline can be described, coincidentally.

If you can't match 20, it might be time to read up a little more closely on baseball history. Thankfully, we've got plenty of that on Yanks Go Yard. Spend your time perusing the archives and you, too, can get annoyed anew that the Red Sox were able to trade for Jason Varitek AND Derek Lowe for middling reliever Heathcliff Slocumb. What BOZO let that happen?
