Watch: 'Jeopardy!' contestants strike out on Yankee Stadium category

By Erin Walsh | Last updated 10/2/20

Professional sports gambler and former "Jeopardy!" contestant James Holzhauer would be pretty disappointed with how a few contestants responded to the "Yankee Stadium" category on Thursday night.

Only one contestant to get a question correct in the category thanks to an obvious $200 clue. The contestants went 0-4 the rest of the way.

The official "Jeopardy!" Twitter account even took the time to troll the contestants.

It was pretty surprising that none of the contests knew anything about Aaron Judge, Mickey Mantle or Yogi Berra.

We see all too often that contestants prepare for just about every category other than sports. Back in 2018, "Jeopardy!" host Alex Trebek roasted contestants who completely butchered a football category.
