Description
2000 World Series New York Yankees Commissioner's Trophy. Not since 1956, a Fall Classic best remembered for Don Larsen's Game Five perfecto, had the World Series been fully accessible to riders on the New York City metro, but in 2000 the stars aligned for the fourteenth "Subway Series" in Major League history. All Big Apple baseball fans will recall the tense battle for supremacy between the National League Mets and American League Yankees with either despair or delight, but this ultimate symbol of baseball excellence is provided for the latter.With an elegant aesthetic worthy of its Tiffany & Co. creators, this twenty-four inch tall prize is far more rare than the Championship ring or twelve-inch trophy provided to players and front office staff. We could safely assume that the Boss, George Steinbrenner, owns one of these oversized spoils of war, and perhaps Joe Torre, but it is our understanding that you could count all examples that exist on your fingers. The weighty silver base is polished to a mirror finish, and engraved with the words "2000 World Series Championship," text which is repeated on the underside of the base. A smaller central golden ring announces "Presented by the Commissioner of Baseball." Golden pennants on silver posts rise to two feet in height, surrounding a large baseball in three dimensions at center.
Any Yankees fan who can't imagine a perfect spot in his home or office for this stunning remembrance of the most glorious season since Mantle should turn in his pinstripes. Please note that, due to the weight and delicate nature of the trophy, third party shipping is required.
