That's a cheery thot.

Yogi has some of the best looking cards I have never seen.

Brian Yogi Jr.

Two items that both truly represent the best of Yogi.


My autographed "Perfect Game" World Series Ticket



and Yogi's "Perfect Gamer" Trump Card.

His "rookie" managerial card. Technically, still bracketed within his playing career, as he appeared in 4 games in 1965 (with the Mets). Happy birthday, to Casey's "Man!"

According to the article below, a petition has been started to generate support for award of the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Yogi Berra. Previous recipients of the medal include Stan Musial, Ernie Banks, Ted Williams and Joe DiMaggio.

One thing some people may not be aware of, is that Yogi served as a gunner's mate in the US Navy in World War II, and was on one of the ships involved in the landings at Normandy on June 6, 1944 (D-Day).

There's a link in the article where you can go to the petition and sign it. I've already done so myself.
