The legendary catcher pens his name on the complete September 1956 issue of Baseball
Digest
Magazine signed: "Yogi Berra", on cover in blue felt tip, 100p, 5½x7½. Complete Baseball
Digest. September 1956. Famed catcher Yogi Berra (1925-2015) played on ten World
Championship teams with the New York Yankees. He holds World Series records for
games played (75), at bats (259) and hits (71). Through hard work and the help of Bill
Dickey, Berra became a great catcher. He led the American League in games caught and
chances accepted eight times, and led the league in double plays six times. He is one of
only four catchers to ever field 1.000 in a season (1958), and between July 28, 1957 and
May 10, 1959, Berra set major league records by catching in 148 consecutive games and
accepting 950 chances without making an error. He was elected to the Baseball Hall of
Fame in 1972. Berra was named the Yankees' manager for the 1964 season. The day after the
Series ended, the Yankees fired him. He took over as the Mets' manager in 1972 and led
them to the NL pennant in 1973, joining Joe McCarthy as the second manager to win
pennants in both leagues. Lightly creased. Covers lightly worn and soiled. Some pages lightly
shaded. Otherwise, fine condition.
