This item is an 8x10 New York Yankees Collage Photo that was signed by Yogi Berra, Hall of Fame Catcher of the New York Yankees. Lawrence Peter "Yogi" Berra was an American professional baseball catcher, who later took on the roles of manager and coach. He played 19 seasons in Major League Baseball (MLB), all but the last for the New York Yankees. Berra was a native of St. Louis and signed with the Yankees in 1943 before serving in the United States Navy as a gunner's mate in the Normandy landings during World War II, where he earned a Purple Heart. He made his major-league debut at age 21 in 1946 and was a mainstay in the Yankees' lineup during the team's championship years beginning in 1949 and continuing through 1962. Despite his short stature, Berra was a power hitter and strong defensive catcher. Career highlights for Berra includes: 18 All-Star, 13 World Series champion, 3 AL MVP, New York Yankees No. 8 retired, Monument Park honoree, Major League Baseball All-Century Team, and a 1972 Baseball Hall of Fame inductee. He was a player for the New York Yankees (1946-1963) and New York Mets (1965), a manager for the New York Yankees (1964; 1984-1985) and New York Mets (1972-1975), and a coach for the New York Mets (1965-1971), New York Yankees (1976-1983), and Houston Astros (1986-1989).
