What piece of the Stadium do you want?

by Ed Valentine on May 12, 2009 7:40 AM EDT in New York Yankees News

So, the Yankees have reached a deal with the city to sell off the old Yankee Stadium piece by piece.

I suppose I just have to get over it and move on, but the destruction of, and hawking of items from, the Cathedral still bugs me.

Anyway, what piece of the Stadium would you like to get? If you could afford it, that is. Personally, I'd love a section of the Frieze, if it's for sale.

The Yankees are selling pairs of seats for $1,923, a nod to the year the original Yankee Stadium opened.

A fitting tribute

They could just as easily sell them for $19.23…….

Infield Dirt

and any large banners they took down.

already got some dirt from watching steiner sports,

they gave it away on YES one day, and nobody emailed i guess cause they only gave it out to 500 people and i email like 2 days later during a re-run. I also bought a plaque with an infield dirt coin and two pictures of the ol’ cathedral. If i could have anything … maybe the pitching rubber or home plate from the bullpen, or some of the name plaques from the locker room, or a brick from monument park.

3 things, 1 Jeter already stole

I would love the “I want to thank the good Lord..” sign, which el capitain already stole, or the golden “Mantle” bat that is on top of the flag pole.

I think the Y from the Yankee Stadium blue lit facade of the stadium would be awesome.

I'd like a set of seats but that's

out of my price range so I’m probably going to try for one of those Monument Park bricks. In a perfect world I’d like to have the bullpen phone.

Bullpen phone?

OK, Frank, so I have to ask. Why the bullpen phone?

I just think it would look cool

hanging on my wall. Everytime I go to call in a pizza I could walk over with a sense of urgency, look over my menu like it’s my roster and make my own call to the bullpen.

My entertainment room has a Yankee Stadium theme going on so it would look good in there.
