It's the top of the 9th, Yankees are clinging to a 1 run lead. If it were any other team in the majors, chances are the manager would be staring at the bullpen phone fretting over who he could call on to protect his lead. But the Yankees are not just any team and for almost 20 seasons every Yankee skipper from Torre to Girardi knew that right at the end of the bullpen phone waits the greatest closer in the game - Mariano Rivera. This is the Yankee Stadium bullpen phone that activated The Sandman. The grey 13" tall x 9" wide x 8 1/2 deep GAI-TRONICS phone shows good use. The outside door protects the well used receiver inside, still connected with its spiral cord. An MLB hologram is affixed to the unit. Letter of Authenticity from Yankees-Steiner attesting to this being the Yankee Stadium bullpen phone used in 2013.
