Frequently Asked Questions

Q: When can I visit the New York Yankees Museum Presented by Bank of America?

Q: Are private tours, or group tours, of the Museum and/or Monument Park available?

  • A: Yankee Stadium Tours visit both the Museum and Monument Park. Tours run throughout baseball season and during the offseason. For information on Classic Stadium Tours, Pregame Tours, and Group Tours, please phone (646) 977-TOUR or email [email protected].

Q: Do Museum exhibits, and pieces on-display, ever change?

  • A: Museum exhibits rotate on a regular basis – usually every one to two years. Rotating exhibits allow various teams, players, and artifacts to be featured. This process also provides fresh displays for repeat Museum visitors to enjoy.

Q: Are pieces displayed inside the Museum owned by the New York Yankees?

  • A: Some pieces – such as the Commissioner's Trophies and Thurman Munson's locker – are owned by the Yankees. Most displayed pieces are loaned by private collectors. Such pieces are borrowed on short-term loans for specific exhibits.

Q: Is the Yankees Museum interested in purchasing my historical item?

  • A: Museum artifacts are not purchased by the New York Yankees. Displayed pieces are either loaned or donated to the Museum. Please contact [email protected] for information on potentially lending/donating to the Museum.

Q: Can the Yankees assist with determining the monetary value of my historical item?

  • A: The Yankees Museum does not provide appraisal services.

Q: What are the monetary values of pieces displayed inside the Museum?

  • A: The Museum does not disclose valuations of displayed items, as most pieces are owned by private collectors.

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 Bronx Bombers 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 on-display the authentic trophies?

  • A: Yes! The 1977-1978, 1996, 1998-2000, and 2009 Commissioner's Trophies are the original trophies presented to the New York Yankees upon winning these respective World Series titles.

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 a minimum of one Yankees regular-season game are eligible for inclusion. Collecting the baseballs is an ongoing process. The 870 baseballs displayed comprise approximately 45% 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 photographic prints. Non-flash photography is welcome inside the Museum.
