Clutching a game-worn Babe Ruth baseball bat, I welcome you to The Yankees Museum at Yankee Stadium. This isn’t just a museum. It’s a time capsule, a tribute to the Bronx Bombers, the New York Yankees. Located near Gate 6 on the main level, The Yankees Museum, presented by Bank of America, captures the essence of pinstripe pride. The Yankees Museum isn’t just about the past. It’s about the living legacy of the team, the spirit of baseball. Imagine a wall, the “Ball Wall,” covered with hundreds of signed baseballs. Each signature represents a Yankee, past and present. The goal is to have a signed ball from every single player who’s ever donned the pinstripes. Use the Ball Finder, a touch-screen computer, to locate your favorite player’s autograph amongst the collection. The Yankees Museum encapsulates legendary moments. The centerpiece showcases Don Larsen’s perfect game in the 1956 World Series. Visualize life-size statues of Larsen in mid-pitch and Yogi Berra behind the plate, frozen in time. A commemorative home plate marks the spot of this historic achievement. The Yankees Museum honors its heroes. See Thurman Munson’s locker, preserved just as it was in the old stadium, a poignant reminder of the beloved Yankee captain.

Get up close with three of Babe Ruth’s game-worn uniforms, including the one from his called shot, his game-used bats, and his 1927 World Series ring. The Yankees Museum is more than memorabilia. It’s the heart and soul of the New York Yankees, a place where memories are made and legends live on.
