National Baseball Hall of Fame officials Jeff Idelson and John Ralph returned from last week's Subway Series with a variety of artifacts which will go on display Friday in the Hall's main lobby and be a part of a major Subway Series exhibit set to open Nov. 17.

The Yankees defeated the Mets four games to one to win their third straight World Series title and fourth in the past five years.

Artifacts which were on display for media Monday included: New York Yankees: MVP Derek Jeter's batting helmet; Luis Sojo's bat from his Series-winning hit (Clay Bellinger model); Mariano Rivera's road jersey (World Series all-time saves leader); Shoes from Orlando Hernandez; Cap from David Justice (all-time post-season games/RBI leader); World Series bat from Paul O'Neill (.474 avg.); Don Zimmer's home jersey; Jose Vizcaino's bat from his game-winning hit (Game 1); Jose Vizcaino's bat from his game-winning hit (Game 1).

New York Mets: Al Leiter's black jersey; Mike Piazza's batting helmet; John Franco's cap from his win in Game 3; Benny Agbayani's bat from his game-winning hit (Game 3); Edgardo Alfonzo's fielder's glove; World Series bat from Todd Zeile (.400 avg.); Game 1 lineup card from Chris Chambliss.

Idelson said the Hall will also receive an item, possibly a home jersey, from Roger Clemens, who dominated the Mets in a Game Two victory, and also had a one hit 15-strikeout performance in the ALCS against Seattle.

"We have artifacts from all previous Subway Series, including the Golden Era from 1951-56," Hall of Fame president Dale Petroskey said Monday. "Depending on how you look at it, the Subway Series dates all the way back to 1889 when the Brooklyn Dodgers played the New York Giants."

Idelson said an artifact from Yankee coach Don Zimmer was essential as he transcends the history of the Subway Series. Zimmer played for the Brooklyn Dodgers, was an original Met in 1962 and has been Joe Torre's confidant for the past five years.

Petroskey also said the Hall has been invited, and will attend, a celebration in Puerto Rico for Roberto Clemente, when an Elementary School will also be named after the former Pittsburgh Pirate great. The Hall recently recast Clemente's plaque when an error was found, and Petroskey said Clemente's family is thrilled with the change.

The Hall of Fame's collections contain several artifacts from the Subway Series of 1921-56, as well as ones from the famous 1951 Giants-Dodgers 3-game playoff series.

The Museum's collections also include an item dating back to the first post season encounter between two New York teams - a game program from the 1889 New York Giants (NL)-Brooklyn Bridegrooms (AA) series, which the Giants won, six games to three. The series featured five future Hall of Famers, all of whom suited up for the Giants: Roger Connor, Buck Ewing, Tim Keefe, Monte Ward and Mickey Welch. Among the many other Subway Series and '51 playoff series pieces in the Hall of Fame collections, in addition to tickets, press pins and game programs include:
