The cache is NOT at the posted coordinates.
You definitely would not want to be at the posted coordinates
however if you were meeting any of the fellows listed in the puzzle
below. You need to solve the SoDuKu-style puzzle to determine the
coordinates for the actual cache.

For those not familiar with SoDuKu puzzles, please note the
following ground rules: Enter a numerical digit (here, represented
by a name) from 1 through 9 in each cell of the 9×9 grid below. As
you will note, the grid is itself made up of 3×3 subgrids, starting
with various names given in some cells; each row, column, and
region must contain only one instance of each name. Some of the
squares already have names in them. Your job, should you choose to
accept it, is to fill in the blank squares. Just remember the one
rule: Each row, column and box (i.e., subgrid) must end up
containing all of the numbers from 1 to 9 (or here, their name
equivalent). You now have the basis of all solving techniques: each
number/name can only appear once in a row, column or box.
The twist here is that you have names and not numbers. Knowledge
of Yankee history/trivia will give you the key. For instance, did
you know that, in 1929, the Yankees introduced identifying numbers
sewn on the backs of players' jerseys, the first time that uniform
numbers were used on a full-time basis? Another piece of Yankee
trivia is that, beginning with Lou Gehrig's number in 1939, the
Yankees have retired 15 uniform numbers to honor 16 players and
managers.
Cache is a camouflaged Lock N' Lock container containing New York
Yankee merchandise. The cache is in a stone wall. Do not go tearing
up the wall to find the cache. Use the hint instead.
