Hideki Matsui's bat and Johnny Damon's spikes are among the items from the Yankees' World Series title going to the Baseball Hall of Fame.
Nearly a dozen pieces were donated after New York won Wednesday night and will be displayed as part of an exhibit on baseball's postseason history.
They include the bat Matsui used to drive in a record-tying six runs in Game 6 and the spikes Damon wore when he stole two bases on one pitch in Game 4.
Other items include the cap worn by Phillies pitcher Cliff Lee during his dominant postseason and the No. 46 jersey worn by Andy Pettitte during Game 6 of the ALCS, when he set a record with 16 postseason victories.
Pettitte also appeared on the "Late Show with David Letterman." He said winning the World Series is especially gratifying in New York, where missing out on a championship is considered a failure.
Pettitte and Yankees teammates Derek Jeter and Jorge Posada appeared on the show Thursday night, a day after capturing the franchise's 27th title. World Series MVP Hideki Matsui later joined them on stage, carrying the championship trophy.
Pettitte says he's close to retirement and that pitching one more season "would probably be good," because he wants to spend more time with his kids. Jeter jokes Pettitte has been saying that for about six straight years.
