Note: Shea Memento in Cooperstown

In his blog for Newsday, Anthony Rieber compares the remnants of Yankee Stadium that will be sent to Cooperstown to those from Shea Stadium.

Yankee Stadium include Derek Jeter’s spikes when he set the record for most hits, Jeter’s bat from the final homestand, the spikes used by Jose Molina when he hit the last home run at the stadium, and a bat used by Johnny Damon when he homered during the final game.

From Shea Stadium, a cap and shirt worn by umpire Brian Gorman during the final game.

…i understand that yankee stadium is much more storied than shea, but do i really need to comment on this…ridiculous…
