- Tommy Trotta spent decades stealing priceless sports memorabilia and artwork from museums. Having served some time, he gives up his playbook to 60 Minutes.
"60 Minutes" is the most successful television broadcast in history. Offering hard-hitting investigative reports, interviews, feature segments and profiles of people in the news, the broadcast began in 1968 and is still a hit, over 50 seasons later, regularly making Nielsen's Top 10.

Why would you give this guy a platform?
oh c'mon man! Ratings! Clicks! Money! Followers! Influencer!
Thank you
Can you believe God loves him as much as you?
@@bluest1524 Which god? Zeus? Rah? Apollo? Odin? Athena? Poisiden?
@@markbeames7852 Wow! So you're an atheist with some moderate education in the classics. I'm sure you find yourself very impressive.
It always bugs me when guys like this tell their stories like a wise-guy. No shame. They still want you to see how clever they were, not how depraved they were.
Sammy the bull being the worst. That man should NOT be free
Because anyone else wouldn't be able to do this tho.
“Certain fans really don’t like me” how about ALL of them. What a loser.
A thief and a rat. SMH. What a slimeball. Hope the Feds give him 100 years on his upcoming case.
Melted down Yogi Berra’s ring- gets 4 years… unreal. 🤷🏻♂️
What a scumbag. Why is he not in jail?
I know why
He is a criminal still. I can tell by his behavior. He has no remorse for what he did. He should be locked up for life.
I thought Americans were all like we lock up too many people let’s be kind and give them another chance
Drama 🫅
@@redx1106 derp derp derp
He is proud of his "skills".
Shut up lol
Shame on you :60 minutes for allowing this person to have your platform.
oh please its sports.
the thing they got most americans obsessed over while they steal their rights.
Shame on us for watching it in its entirety.
The guy is an POS. No remorse, no accountability and continued to blame it on "the lifestyle." The dude gets caught and becomes more of a rat by looking after himself and his time behind bars. What he did can not be undone. Millions of dollars worth of priceless items and he has the audacity to interview like it was a game for him. The line where he says I'm not the hero, Yogi is shows how warped and narcissistic this guy is. Wtf, did he think he had to clarify that to? Himself?
4 years?! Pathetic. Our justice system with another L.
I wouldn't be surprised if he's lying about having melted them. He's a crook, he probably lied about melting them so no one would look for them.
I think you are on something. Someday in the future, they will turn up in somebody’s collection in person will make up a story. Somebody with deep pockets on to get a hold of him and make a deal to buy them, cheap. Then he can return them to yogi BERRA
Exactly… he didn’t melt anything down he sold them as is for way more money than melted scrap
How does this guy sleep at night
He’s a sociopath they don’t lose sleep over anything because like a good card carrying sociopath he has no conscience
He could’ve broken into a jewelry store and stolen some gold there to meltdown. But he wanted to destroy someone else’s greatness because he feels that, he himself has no greatness.
That’s why he stole the trophies of the champions. Because deep down inside, he thinks he’s garbage and that’s his way to get back at his own cursed fate.
This guy and that witch that got Selena are a special kind foul.
So, he such a fan, he steals priceless artifacts and destroys them.
Sounds like a deep seated hate, to me, cloaked in admiration.
Always thought the term was 'deep seeded...'. Looked it up, no, you're correct. Oops. In my defense, it appears that it's a common misconception.
Haven't felt this grammatically embarrassed since i found out 'tow the line' was actually 'toe the line'. If im feeling particularly stubborn, ill say that all language is made up, and that one use being 'right', and the other 'wrong' is simply an imaginary construct. 😂😂
Sorry...this guy is simply horrible... I officially reject any claim of this man being a Yankees fan...wow
He gets popped, rats his WHOLE CREW for every job, and walks the street, hell hes on TV. wow.
This guy should be in jail for a very long time. What a disgraceful human being.
People like this should not be allowed to walk free, if at all.
He still has the rings.
Key point…he was the ring leader…he was the one that started all of this and then got his friends to join him….when HE was caught HE ratted on his friends to make a deal and get a reduced sentence. His friends probably would have never done these kinds of crimes on their own….he was the one bad apple that spoiled the whole bunch…and then he turned them over for less punishment for himself. Yes…the friends are criminals too…but he created this and then received less punishment just because he turned them in….that’s not right. He was stealing before he even met them….this was his creation and he would have done it even if they never went along with it because he was the mastermind. I’m so sick of hearing that these criminals can make deals for lesser sentences…they don’t deserve a lesser sentence.
'Ring leader' 😂😂😂
Hes lying about the ring. Its in a private collectors safe or he still has it.
Two observations: 1) What was the point of this report? 2) Is it me or is the reporter working really hard not to look openly judgemental and disliking when talking to the guy?
60 minute reporters hardly ever ask hard hitting questions unless it’s a dictator and they’re in USA
@@Spo0ky_22 I don't agree with that at all. It's not gotcha journalism and that's a good thing. Here, I think they went looking for a bigger story but ultimately didn't find one.
So why isn't he in prison for life?
Because in the end it's just a few rocks.
Rat
@@shnizalwizal Lmao 🤣 Very expensive rocks.
@@lamb11764 Can't answer the question, or are you a thief too?
@@mr.monitor. he gave people up & Id assume he made a deal for it. Long version of “rat”
When the new York mafia gonna handle this problem
The granddaughter is shredded!
She sure is
Ratted out all of his buddies?
07:51 - Notice says *yeah* as he shakes his head no? Most subconscious non-verbal behaviours that contradict verbal statements, can indicate possible deception.
This snitch should be in jail. He led the team, snitched everyone out, and got a sweet deal. Horrible!
i hope they didnt pay that pile of crapp for the interview
Should be in prison for a life ruining amount of time
This guy would steal your toothbrush.
Damn is that a guy??
He’ll always be remembered in the Hall of Shame.
He did only 4yrs!?!?!?
He’s lying. He sold the rings…they had a buyer he’s protecting
I agree
In any orher country this criminal would be in prison. Arab countries traditionally cut the hands from thiefs I believe? Big fan of this kind of justice 👍 60 minutes just tries to make them famous???
Yes, I guess they figured this was a public service message👎
Didn't "mangle" Berra's quote. He did a riff on one - "It ain't over till it's over." The actual quote wouldn't have been an apropos response to the question. What he said was the equivalent of saying, "The fat lady sang."
The interviewer, despite his cynical attempt, gained no points from piling on to the Bad Guy.
Why in the world would this tv network romanticize this crook. A new low.
WEAK justice system.. the fact he’s out on the street doing TV is a joke… he should have been sent away for life at the start… instead, he’s getting his 15 minutes of fame… on 60 Minutes..
I think they went into this looking for a bigger story but didn't find one. I don't know why this was shown: what was the take away.
Who'd have guessed that a baseball "fan" from New Jersey'd be a criminal?
After everything is said in done, not only is he a low life, but a snitch.
So when's the book deal?
Yogi may have forgiven him. I will not.
thanks making this. great massage.
Back in the day thieves had it much worse
60 minutes has really scraped the barrel here. I'm not gonna finish watching. 60 minutes shame on you
This guy is not a Yankee/Baseball fan. He’s a waste of a sports’ fan
Those rings are still around,not buying it
Are they replicas or fakes? Since you are in the know.
@@chairmanofthebored8684 in crime circles the”buyers” of this type of contraband are located FIRST👈and are usually very bad powerful and incredibly dangerous drug dealing rich folks. Why not rob a Zales jeweler? Waaaay more gold to be “melted” down than 12 grand..it’s a lie and you can tell by his behavior
Bingo. Of course he’d claim to have destroyed them so nobody looks.
From on we aren't going to be allowed to record in public or anywhere because you never know if someone is trying to do this.
Thief and a damn snitch.
6:40 it doenst make sense? Half of the games were rigged by mobs, not a stand up guy by any means but he wasn't violent, and 4 grand is a lot for a night or 2 of work.
How many degrees of separation do some of this crew have from Lucky Luciano?
So he RATTED.
Terrible. But looked like his upbringing might have been too. Still, no excuse. He did look remorseful of what he did. But he also looked remorseful for getting caught. All we can hope is that he leads a better life now. What's done is done.
I'am not a fan of baseball...but this guy should stay in jail forever...and why is he making money publicating his crimes 😮
Melting down (9)1950's Yankee World Series Rings for just $12,000 dollars. Why not just try to find a private buyer or buy out your partners for that small amount? That is the most unforgivable thing he did.
Exactly
What NEPA City is this guy from ?
The outside venues where he is being interviewed are definitely located in Scranton, Pa. I am a native and I recognize the area. I don't know where his hideout is. 02:11 is Scranton
Main Stream Media sure love to promote and give these no goods a platform, instead give great success stories, this isn't one of them.
Trailer Park Boys.
This is why I stopped watching 60 minutes , they must be disparte for stories . This interview should be taken down . May Yogi Rest In Peace
Career criminal here.
He looks like Golem.
He's not a real baseball fan.
It's so obvious he's lying 🤥
Nauseating to hear this guy speak! I could only watch so much,, it made me sick!
I wouldn't want to be this guy. I doubt he could go anywhere.
It makes sense tho…steal a one of a kind ring and sell it to a pawn shop yea questions will be asked…
This world is all about survival. Some survive through societal norms, some do not.
Said like a true criminal. Rules are there for a reason. It everyone stole and destroyed things society wouldn't function
Is anything sacred?
Jesus christ fella
I don't know what this journalists name is but he sure favors William Shatner.
no honor among thieves
What a dirt ball.
Where are the million dollar paintings 🖼 🤔 😳
60 minutes puts on a dirtbag for views.
This guy is the lowest of the low!
I forgot he is a rat also.
A ton of crying in the comments. 😂 you bad man you offended baseball and golf fans everywhere. People are really saying he should be locked up for life. No your favorite politicians should. There is a criminal running for the presidency as we speak... Get off your high horse
Christy Mathewson jersey worth 1 million?? 😂😂
Absolutely! A Jordan jersey sold for $10 million.
snitch .
This is guy is a serial raqist. He destroys others for a few minutes of pleasure. The magnitude of the crime and it's payout are incongruous. Only a predator would think that's an acceptable tradeoff.
They give this guy a platform and praise because you guess it… 🏳️🏳️🏳️🏳️
Picked last in gym class no doubt. Failed athlete wannabe..
He claims to b a baseball fan, no baseball fan would ever do what he did. This loser should be banned from attending any MLB games
6:36 it doesn't make sense cuz ur grandpa is rich and ur rich so hush up miss miss
So rich people can't be angry when a thief takes something priceless?
Not all heroes wear capes.... BRAVO my friend.....Bravo...
Weak.
I love this guy! Let's go Braves!!
Why is Tim Robinson in this video
rat only got 4 years lol
hes a liar too no way he was a fan, he would know the priceless value of the rings or he kept them
I'll be blocked by CZcams if I post what I want to. 👹
Tell me, I’ll say it for you. First amendment!
the rings are replaced they keep the molds for them not that big of a deal and the rings are not priceless nor is any of this sports stuff...and got 12k for the products goes to show how much its marked up
They are priceless history, it's not about the precious metals. Yogi Berra will never wear those rings on display. They are reproductions
So you are making excuses for him? Maybe because they weren’t that valuable all is forgiven? You must be related to him.
You don't do much thinking, do you? 😂
There was no mention of the rings being insured. If stealing something you can't sell is stupid, having a million dollars worth of rings that are not insured would be even more stupid. So the museum either got a million dollar insurance payout and replica rings or .....
Rings were replaced - details in the report
@gwenniegirl50 With replicas which are worth a fraction of what the real ones are.
🗑
Average baseball fan
It’s a stupid ring people, get over it.
Manford burner detected. It's just a piece of metal, right?
To some it's a priceless treasure to a thief it's a hunk of gold that can't be sold without attracting law enforcement
And the Mona Lisa is just a bunch of paint on a canvas, right? Lol.🤡🤡
Who gives a f 😂😂 it’s just a ring
Snitch
What about statute of limitations
