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…

All of Shea’s “artifacts” are currently being sold at auction on Mets.com!!!!
Another example of how the world see’s the Mets.
Brian Gorman was born in Flushing, NY.
His father Tom also an umpire,officiated the 1st game at Shea.
Ok, great. is it possible that we could get soemthing used by one of our players- Seaver, Piazza, Hernandez etc.
Sounds like the Jackie Robinson rotunda idea at Citifield- no relevance to our team
OMG!! It looks like my nightmare will come true, PHILLIES vs. RED SOX in the WS!!! NO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hate both of these teams, its like 1999 all over again. My only hope is that the RAYS win. LETS GO RAYSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!
Something of Beltran’s should be there (his home run)…and maybe Oliver Perez…
Please, Jose Molina is definitely more HOF material than people like Beltran or Delgado…..
That the first home run was hit by Babe Ruth, and the last Jose Molina, says a lot about the franchise and the mistake of moving out of the building. The curse lives on.
LOL, you can blame our organization for that. You can only donate these artifacts. Maybe our “non-sound” organization has taken an option to not donate .
It is not cooperstown who chooses what it receives as donations. Its up to the team, organization, or person who must decide what it donate.
Problem solved…. donate Luis Castillo, and now we have second base open lol
Let’s mummify Luis Castillo.
Yes, but there is always the chance of him waking up. I say we send Castillo on an expedition to Jupiter. By the time he comes back, his contract will be long over.
thats a good idea, and if we fill up his shuttle with 1/2 tank of fuel, then we won’t ever have to think about him again and horrible performance, and negativity he had on Jose Reyes & The Team…..Yes i really hate him that much
That’s just wrong…
We should have donated the tophat that the apple comes out of.
Well that’s rotten, but I get solace from knowing their team is in worse shape than the Mets.
They don’t have a real ace, and the chances of them getting Sabathia are poor. They have a lot of ticking time bombs in terms of contracts while the Mets don’t have any.
For what they spent on their payroll, their performance was pitiful.
The snub would be much worse if they were a good team now.
And I think their current manager is WORSE than either Willie or Manuel.
C’mon now, we all loathe the Skankees, but no team has a worse manager than Willie.
You’re joking, right? I think Collapse II has proven that the problem with the Mets wasn’t Willie but rather an inherent major weakness in the bullpen.
Willie has a higher managerial winning percentage than Torre.
And Girardi is truly an awful manager.
Except that Joe Torre had a .605 winning percentage with the Yankees. And if you want to make the argument that he had a ton of talent and a huge payroll, well so did Willie.
Willie has a higher winning percentage than Terry Francona, so maybe someone should go tell the Red Sox that there is a superior manager just floating around out there. Or maybe the ChiSox could use an upgrade from Guillen and his measly .534 wp. While we’re at it, go tell the Cards to get rid of LaRussa with his .534.
Just to be clear, I do not think that Torre is a great manager. He’s good at the media stuff and handling a clubhouse but not great at in-game strategy. I’m still not sure what Willie was supposed to be good at.
And I think Girardi’s a pretty good manager. Look at the 06 Marlins.
Oh yea and F### the Yankees.
i think we should donate a bottle of our tears
lmao
ahahahaaa…… that’s just sad
hmmmm, what should be in the hall of fame that can represent Shea?
I know, Mike Piazza and Keith Hernandez
knock on wood
MANNY!!!!
(I miss posting her during games. What will I do for SIX MONTHS???)
yeah, sign me up for Manny. 5/85 - done deal - after 3 we can trade him to the AL if need be.
SIGN HIM UP
let murph play 2nd all fall and winter to get used to it 100%
Manny is a must for ny
we can always sign krod and trade for bullpen arms so everything is accomplished
SIGN MANNY! I CARE ABOUT THE RUMORS! GET HIM NOW!!!!
I realize the history behind Yankee Stadium. It’s incredible the amount of great players to have played there over the years. It’s not a knock against the Mets — the great Mets since 1962 and the great Yankees since 1962 are comparable, it’s the amount of history, and the fact that Shea is a dump.
The big story for them was Yankee Stadium coming down, while the big story for us is CitiField going up.
I understand the excitement manny generates but honestly i watch him just carry this dodger team to the finish line and through the playoffs and just get angry at how the mets completely BLEW this deal…I really think Omar may have been asleep at the wheel a bit thinking he could only get manny in a straight up deal with boston.
make up,,,, sign him
How did he blow it? We just didn’t have the pieces to get it done.
anyone else rooting for the dodgers in this series?
lol
So sad considering that the Marlins almost had him, the Phils were close to him and we weren’t even involved.
Maybe the Wilpons did tie Omar’s hands..who knows..
EVERYONE RUNNING THE METS ORGANIZATION IS STUPID!!
FU-CKKKKKK THE PHILLIES ARE GOING TO THE WORLD SERIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
they deserve it, they where the better team. i dont like the phillies but they played harder than the mets,WHEN THEY NEEDED TOO.
Tip my hats to the TEAM, not their FANS
Give me a break. If the Mets had Lidge and they had Wagner-Ayala, the Mets would have run away with the division, not just won by a few games.
They didn’t play any harder than the Mets did. Their bullpen was just a whole lot better.
ding ding ding
To paraphrase Bill Clinton: “It’s the bullpen, stupid”
well look on the bright side, brad lidge HAS to blow at least 1 save next year right?
