Mets & Yankees Want Their Cut$

A spokesman for Mayor Bloomberg confirmed the negotiations but would not say how the deals might go down - specifically, whether the city would hope to get a lump sum from the teams or a percentage of the profits of any sale or auction of items.

I will buy a piece, nothing too crazy. And if they sell bags of the infield dirt for like $25 a pop then la di da I just nailed half my Christmas list.

Yeah, provided the cost isn't too crazy, I'd definitely buy a piece. I've been there so many times, it would definitely mean something to me and be a nice addition to my sports collection.
