Detail:

The Babe ('27) with his 60th HR bat etched "T.Z." to mark final victim Tom Zachary; a cigar ashtray and sweet-spot-signed balls resting on the floor; and his final red locker chock full of more cigars, a fur coat, two-tone shoes, fan letters galore and a "Babe and You" phonograph record, along with—to soothe the aches, pains, indigestion and hangovers of his decadent lifestyle—a nice array of salves, balms and bicarb soda. (COOPER: "I've attempted to depict Ruth's primal nature, his indulgences and flamboyance, his flawed genius if you like. His overflowing locker represents not only his chaotic life off the field but the magnetic attraction he had on the public. He was the man, the idol, the superstar.")

The Iron Horse ('27) with his central position representing Gehrig's distinguished stature as the heart and soul of the Yankees legacy; a Ken-Wel zipper-back first-baseman's glove at his feet; and the industrial-style locker of his early days adorned with embossings of a literal Iron Horse and the "No. 4." (COOPER: "While the big personalities swirl around him, Gehrig sits quietly, serenely, at the heart of this painting, at the core of what it is to be a Yankee.")

The Yankee Clipper ('41) with a pair of white-ash game bats resting in his lap; a cigarette dangling between two fingers; a Chesterfield carton on his locker shelf; and display mementos of his 56-game hit streak, his candle-in-the-wind Marilyn and his famous quote, "I'd like to thank the good Lord for making me a Yankee." (COOPER: "Joe is said to have been more introverted than the others, so I chose this great pose of him enjoying a postgame Chestfield, since he was one of the wholesome public spokesmen for it.")

The Mick ('56) with wall notches tallying his unbeatable World Series HR record; Ballantine beer in hand; and a locker stocked with family photos, Yoo-Hoo, period towels and numerous ace bandages to symbolize his nagging injuries. (COOPER: "It was a conscious decision to show Mickey as a fresh-faced, fun-loving kid in his Triple Crown year, as opposed to the more rough-around-the-edges Mantle of the 60s.")

The Captain ('98) with his hand resting on Gehrig's shoulder to convey, first, the universal respect held for the "Luckiest Man" by all future generations of the Bronx faithful, and second, the passing of the torch from Gehrig to Jeter as the all-time Yankees hits leader; the black bat used by Captain Clutch to hit .353 in the 1998 World Series; and his lucky Nike Air Jordan wristband. (COOPER: "Jeter stands overlooking the group of Yankees immortals. He bridges the gap between past and present pinstripers.")
