Chewing Gum, Inc., no. 257. New York Mets' manager and coaches credentials on verso. By
way of hard work and the help of Bill Dickey, Yogi Berra (1925-2015) 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.
Slightly worn at corners and edges. Signature faded, but still legible. Otherwise, fine condition.
