Yankee Stadium Trivia Question

[#1Coneyfan]

Gehrig I love this forum but your questions are too difficult :lol:

Here's one for everyone *but* Gehrig to try:

Whose bronzed bat is the Stadium weather vane made from?

[Chris]

I never did know that it was made from someones actual bat (I am LOVING this forum).

I'd have to guess Babe Ruth.

Good guess, but it's not correct.

Ruth's is the bat outside the Stad.

Another trivia question - what does it read on Pete Sheehy's plaque in the dugout?

It's on top of the flag pole.

Here's a pic of it...

Nice picture of the weather vane!

The bat belonged to Lou Gehrig. It was installed in a ceremony at the Stadium in 1956.

The only person who seems to know this is Tony Morante. I've never read about this anywhere, in any book on the Stadium I have, or on the internet. If you've never take a tour of the Stadium with Mr. Morante, do so!

Time to climb a flagpole...hehehe
