The centerpiece of the New York Yankees Museum is the "Ball Wall", a collection of autographs of current and former Yankees players.
TheNew York Yankees Museum is a sportsmuseum located atYankee Stadium on the main level at Gate 6. It is sponsored and presented byBank of America[1] and is dedicated tobaseball memorabilia for theNew York Yankees.[2] It is a key attraction at the stadium, which opened in 2009.[3]
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.[2][5] 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".[6]
The centerpiece of the museum is a tribute toDon Larsen's perfect game in the1956 World Series, with a commemorative home plate in the floor and statues of Larsen pitching toYogi Berra.[2][7] Along with a facsimile of a current locker from the Yankees' clubhouse, fans can view the locker ofThurman Munson, which sat unoccupied in the previous stadium's Yankee clubhouse in honor of Munson.[2][8]
The finalpitcher's plate andhome plate used at the old stadium was the first at the new stadium; following its use, it was moved to the museum.[9]
