Fan Fest - A Little Taste of Cooperstown

Another element of the All Star Celebration was the FanFest that took place at New York's Javits Convention Center. Along with activities such as batting against electronically enhanced video of top pitchers and other inter-active skills competition, a healthy slice of history was on display. Several exhibits on loan from Cooperstown made it a fun walk-through. Below: programs from World Series, so many of which have taken place at Yankee Stadium.
And, the historic 1969 Series that capped the Mets most amazin' season.
Uniforms that evoke memories such as the New York Giants (blue and red) before they adopted their black and gold look.
Photo displays and uniforms pay tribute to the Negro Leagues.
A comparison of the wooden seats from the original Yankee Stadium and their modern plastic counterparts.
Above, a uniform worn by The Iron Horse Lou Gehrig in his final weeks with the 1939 Yankees.
A panoramic view of the Yankees history and stars. And below, a little known player with a fascinating life story. Bill Werber, who turned 100 in June, is the last living Yankee teammate of Babe Ruth.
Another fitting tribute honored the game's Latino stars past and present.
