Anybody out there have any experience with handwriting samples of Yogi Berra? Does the "plain" handwritten autograph in the image look as though it was done in Yogi's own hand?
Thanks in advance for your forensic expertise! Jon www.dugouttreasures.com |

That looks like, if it's real, it was written when Yogi was not-yet 18 years old.
Can you show us any more of the writing? Steve

Correct...if legit, it was written by a 17 year old Yogi Berra during his 1943 season in Norfolk prior to enlisting. Here's the rest of the document...

Well, here's a copy of Yogi's WWII draft registration card. He signed it on his 18th birthday in 1943. It lists his home address as in St. Louis, where he was born. Also, he didn't print the information; it is in his handwriting.
I sort of find it unlikely that he would have later printed his information on a card, since he could write, and for the printing to look like it was printed by a younger kid. Steve ![]()
