Fall Classic memorabilia at Hall of Fame
Matsui's bat, Damon's spikes, Lee's lid among items on display

The Yankees' latest feat has already been deemed Hall of Fame-worthy.

Artifacts from baseball's most memorable moments from this past postseason -- one that saw the Yankees notch their 27th World Series championship -- have been put on display at the Autumn Glory exhibit at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in Cooperstown, N.Y.


Following New York's Game 6 Fall Classic win over the Phillies on Nov. 4, the museum acquired nearly a dozen artifacts from the Yankees and Phillies to put in the exhibit, which will be on display through the 2010 postseason.

Additional items from the Yankees' World Series title may be added in the coming weeks, but here's what they have so far:

• Hideki Matsui's bat from Game 6, when the eventual World Series Most Valuable Player drove in a record-tying six runs.

• Mariano Rivera's postseason cap. Rivera saved five of the Yankees' 11 playoff wins and posted a 0.56 ERA.

• The Game 6 bat of captain Derek Jeter, who posted a .407 average in the World Series.

• Johnny Damon's spikes from his Game 4 double steal.


• Jorge Posada's and Jose Molina's catching masks from the postseason.

• Suzyn Waldman's scorecard from Game 6. Waldman became the first woman to broadcast a World Series game when she served as a Yankees radio broadcaster.

• The cap worn by Phillies starter Cliff Lee, who was 4-0 with a 1.56 ERA in the playoffs.

• The No. 46 jersey worn by Andy Pettitte when he was the winning pitcher in Game 6 of the American League Championship Series.

• Pettitte's World Series cap.

• The first ball to come out of play during Game 1 of the World Series, which was the first Fall Classic game at the new Yankee Stadium.

• A bat used by Phillies second baseman Chase Utley during the World Series, when he tied a record with five Fall Classic home runs.

They should send a couple of those caps with the built in ear muffs too.

Note to MLB - baseball in November is not a great idea.
