Q: Can the Yankees assist with determining the monetary value of my historical item?
- A: The New York Yankees organization does not provide appraisal services.
Q: Why are only seven World Series trophies displayed? Why not 27 trophies?
- A: The New York Yankees claimed 20 World Series titles between 1923 and 1962. During that period, “Fall Classic” victors received no formal trophy. An official award, formally named the “Commissioner’s Trophy”, was created for the 1967 World Series. The Yankees have won seven World Series championships (1977-1978, 1996, 1998-2000, and 2009) since that time. Commissioner’s Trophies from these seasons are displayed inside the Museum.
Q: Are the Commissioner’s Trophies displayed the authentic trophies?
- A: Yes! The 1977-1978, 1996, 1998-2000, and 2009 Commissioner’s Trophies are the original trophies presented to the Yankees upon winning each respective World Series title.
Q: Whose autographed baseballs are displayed inside the Baseball Wall? Why these individuals, and not others?
- A: The Museum seeks to collect one single-signed (i.e. one signature only) baseball from every player, coach, manager, and radio/television broadcaster in franchise history. Individuals who participated in even one Yankees regular-season game are eligible for inclusion. Collecting the baseballs is an ongoing process. The 870 baseballs displayed comprise approximately 55% of the total goal.
Q: Why is flash photography not permitted inside the Museum?
- A: Flash photography creates harmful ultraviolet (UV) light. Ultraviolet light fades inks, dyes, and photographs. Non-flash photography is welcome inside the Museum.
Q: Can private events be hosted in the New York Yankees Museum?
- A: Yes, private events can be hosted in the New York Yankees Museum. For more information, visit yankees.com/events or call 646-977-8400.
