Baseball Hall to display "treasures" from 2008 season

That's the HOF's word -- "treasures" -- not mine.

See if you can guess which local team's dead stadium will be honored a wee bit more than the other. Some of the "treasures":

-- Derek Jeter’s spikes when he set the record for most hits at Yankee Stadium, and Jeter’s bat from the final homestand at Yankee Stadium

-- The spikes used by Jose Molina when he hit the last home run at Yankee Stadium, a bat used by the Yankees’ Johnny Damon when he homered during the final game and a ticket from the final game

--- The cap worn by the Yankees’ Mike Mussina during his 20th win of the season;

-- A cap worn by the Yankees’ Joba Chamberlain

-- A cap and shirt worn by umpire Brian Gorman during the final game at Shea Stadium (Gorman’s father, Tom Gorman, umpired the first game at Shea Stadium)

The Yankees get bats, spikes and hats and the Mets get an umpire's apparel?

Harsh.

sigh...........how typical...

I wouldn't be so sure that all the artifacts from Shea weren't already sold in an online auction. Those wacky Mets.

1 word: embarrassing.

What!! No one wanted my shoes???

124.3 career IP and his hat is a TREASURE in the Hall of FAME?! Please

Maybe the HoF is afraid that if they add more Mets artifacts the roof will collapse.

Sorry, couldn't resist.

as a mets fan i could care less....

I think all Halls of Fame, be they baseball or Rock and Roll, have long since jumped the shark.
