Default Opening Day....Yankee Stadium 1923....and today

"Munson's locker is obviously cool to see but other than that the museum is really lacking. Hopefully they will step it up."

It seems the only way they could "step it up" would be to borrow more material.

There actually are some wonderful pieces in that museum--Gehrig's 1927 home jersey, Ruth's "Called Shot" 1932 road jersey, beautiful 1923, 1927, and 1928 signed balls...

The sad part is that all of those--and everything else of any real value or interest--is on loan from a few collectors--Richard Angrist and the Depace family for the most part. (No, Bruce is not one of the contributors.)

The Yankees' own collection is, indeed, pathetic.
