From Pete Caldera:

Plans are in the works to have Derek Jeter, Mariano Rivera, Jorge Posada and Andy Pettitte transfer home plate from the current ballpark into the new Yankee Stadium - perhaps on Nov. 8, according to a person familiar with the concept.

Sounds like a pretty cool idea. It's kind of hard to believe that we're almost at the point where they're going to install home plate at the new Yankee Stadium.

That brings me to another note, which is that most (if not all by now) of the playing surface has been installed at the new ballpark. Pictures can be found at the Yankees' official website.
