The New York Yankees Museum presented by Bank of America, located on the lower level at Gate 6 of Yankee Stadium, displays a wide range of Yankees' memorabilia.[1] It is a key attraction at the stadium, which opened in 2009.[2]

Development

When the Yankees developed the new stadium, the museum was in its plans. Bronx Borough President Adolfo Carrión, Jr. called for the museum to function as a "Cooperstown South".[3]

Features

A "Ball Wall" features hundreds of balls autographed by past and present Yankees, and there are plans to eventually add autographs for every living player who has played for the Yankees.[1][4] The Yankees Ball Finder, a touch-screen computer in the museum, allows the viewer to look for Yankees alphabetically to find the location of their ball on the "Ball Wall".[5]

The centerpiece of the museum is a tribute to Don Larsen's perfect game in the 1956 World Series, with a commemorative home plate in the floor and statues of Larsen pitching to Yogi Berra.[1][6] Along with a facsimile of a current locker from the Yankees' clubhouse, fans can view the locker of the late Thurman Munson, which sat unoccupied in the previous stadium's Yankee clubhouse in honor of Munson.[1][7]

The final pitcher's plate and home plate used at the old stadium was the first at the new stadium; following its use, it was moved to the museum.[8]

For the 2011 season, the Yankees added a showcase of World Series rings.[9] During the season they opened an exhibit to honor George Steinbrenner.[10][11]

The jersey Derek Jeter wore during the game he achieved his 3,000th hit is in the Yankees Museum.[12]
