Whilst in town we took in a game at Yankee Stadium where I hadn't been since 1961 and, boy, what a shock that was. Only things that hadn't changed were the pinstripes and the Bronx skyline. The rest was a pathetic facsimile of that wonderful old stadium. But I digress.
I lived in NYC and environs from 1953 to 1961 and was nuts about baseball so the show at the MCNY was right up my alley. I made an ImageEvent album of our trip which might give an idea of the layout of the exhibit and the cool stuff within.

I wish I could have attended. In your photos #5 and 6, it appears the curators let some reproduction Giants pennants into the display.
