Mushnick: YANKEE COLLECTIBLES CERTIFIABLY RIDICULOUS (RR)

Wow!...This gunk blows away the 10-spot I still have that Monoman pulled out of his wharf rat underwear!

Steiner Sports, contracted collectibles dealer for MLB, the Mets and Yanks, is now selling the following “Bronx Game-Used Equipment” from Yankee Stadium:

“2005 Opening Day Batter’s Box Dirt Collage” for $120 (call me cynical, but the dirt looks suspiciously similar to 2006 Opening Day batter’s box dirt). Ian Kennedy’s “Yankees Clubhouse Locker Room Name Plate” is selling for $500 (how a locker name plate was used in a game escapes us, but Shelley Duncan’s is a steal at $300).

For $250, you can own Jose Veras’ alleged “game-used” Yankee duffel bag (I can’t recall Veras using that duffel bag in a game, either, but that’s the beauty of the hidden duffel bag trick).

But wait! There’s more! Kyle Farnsworth’s “Yankee Spring Training Game Used Locker Room Name Plate” for $100 (this game-used Yankee Stadium item was neither used in a game nor in Yankee Stadium), something called a “Joe DiMaggio Mini Dirt Collage” for $60 and other bric-a-brac that could be unscrewed, pried free, pocketed, stuffed into a game-used duffel bag or scooped up.
