Show Off Your Yankees Stuff

[WillowGrove]

Such truly amazing items in this thread. Brendan - game used Hal Chase mitt is so very cool; especially considering he was such a great fielder.

Mark S - i have never seen that pennant with 'Champions' going down the side. 1936? Is it particularly rare?

For me, as a Mets fan I don't seek out Yankees stuff but here's one item that i own that I wanted to post. According to retrosheet, only 15,000 fans at Griffith Stadium saw Babe play his last game as a Yankee. End of such an era.

Great thread.

+1 Very nice!
P.S. I'll trade you my Mets stuff for your Yankees stuff

Catching up on the thread. Some awesome stuff posted over the weekend. Ticket stub to the Babe's last game as a Yankee, Hal Chase's glove...

Speaking of Chase, I have seen that Highlanders program before and always wondered why the artist drew him in a kilt. Obviously, the artist was playing up on what I guess is Chase's Irish heritage, but I always found it odd it would be put onto a baseball program.

I found this description from some early postcards that might explain the kilt.

These composite postcards of the 1911 New York Highlanders, 1911 Giants and 1910 Philadelphia A's comprise a unique series from The Sporty Postal Card Co. of Newark, NJ. These cards adhere to themes predominant in each team's positioning. NY manager Hal Chase is cast as the kilt - wearing leader of the team, a reference to The Gordon Highlanders, a British Army regiment recruited mainly from Scotland. A's owner

Great thread! So many great items. Here are a few of my Yankee items.


- 1949 Larry "Yogi" Berra All Star game bat from Brooklyn.

- 1933 Yankees vs As program. Babe Ruth hit 2 HRs that game off of Lefty Grove.

- Yankee Stadium Seats

A 4.5 ft section of Yankee Stadium bleacher seating. Removed after the 1973 season for the renovations made during 1974-75.

The seat looks light blue in the picture, but it is grey.

One of my favorites

That is beautiful. Is that a marble plaque of some sort?

It is chalkware Mike and it has been attributed (not confirmed) to be from the 1932 WS against the Cubs who also made a similar plaque I'm pleased to say I own

[perezfan]

That's a gorgeous piece, Mike...

I love the silver "wash" on the Cubs version. Have you ever seen a Yankees version with the silver or gold "coating"? Of the very few I've seen, I believe all are white like yours.

Would love to find one of these at the National (but not getting my hopes up )

[mjkm90]

I would love the gold wash Yankee this example belongs to a good collector friend with a terrific collection

When I go to some Yankees games I wear this early Jersey. I reserve it for cool weather days as its heavy and warm.

Nice jersey. I don't recall ever seeing pics of the Yankees wearing this jersey. Can you tell me what years they wore it? Very interested to know.

Thank you

Mike

No, it's not a gamer ...it has nothing to do with the Yankees. It's just a jersey from a local team from probably the late '30s. I just like it because it says Yanks. I get a lot of stares and questions when I wear it to the Stadium.

I once wore it to Fenway, and a couple people thought it was the 'Boston Yanks' (football team).

[ruth-gehrig]

Great stuff guys!!

[ooo-ribay]

^^^ That's very cool. How big is it and what was its function?

Hi Peter... Sorry I missed your question from way back in this thread...

Yes, the Yankees pennant is from 1936, and very rare. I've only seen one other like it, and that one was really beat-up. FWIW, here is a sideways look at the left side....

[perezfan]

Wonderful post, Doug.... VERY touching

[yankeesjetsfan]

Mark: That Yankees pennant is gorgeous!

Ron: Love those Yankee ticket stubs.

Mike

Great thread, thanks for sharing. I enjoy the old score cards, pre printed with lineups. Imagine that happening today. Also, the old ticket stubs and the low prices to see historic games in old Yankee stadium.

Thanks Mark. Boy they did a great job of making that player look generic - no hint of Dimaggio (or gehrig) there. And looks a bit timid too.

But cool and rare nonetheless!
