Yogi was one of the game’s best players, and he led a full life both in and outside of the stadium.

As you explore this baseball heritage museum, you’ll learn all about Yogi’s efforts off the field, too. Did you know he served our country, and had a successful career as a brand spokeperson, too?

Of course, most people come to hear about the legendary Yankees teams that had Yogi on the roster. Any baseball fan will be thrilled to see the bats beloning to the 1927 Yankees’ “Murderer’s Row”!
