Sports Memorabilia: Yankees’ Stool Samples Next?

Phil Mushnick of the NEW YORK POST has some of the latest, priceless memorabilia being belched out offered by the fine folks at Steiner Sports.

Phil Hughes Signed Dirt

“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 New York 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).

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).

And our all-time Steiner Sports item favorite - just for posterity:

You might recall that MLB, in conjunction with Steiner Sports, sold a Carl Pavano 2006 “game-used” Yankee baseball cap, one, “Pavano wore during at least one live MLB game during the 2006 season. Letter of authenticity is provided.” Pavano didn’t throw a big league pitch in 2006. Hey, that makes the letter of authenticity more valuable than the cap!

The fact that they’re trying to sell this worthless crap tells me that some people must be buying it. We wonder how long it will be before Steiner Sports gets out the toilet brushes to collect Joba Chamberlain game-used stool samples for a “Yankee waste product collage”.
