Yogi Berra spent 18 years with the Yankees in which he was named AL MVP three times played on 13 World Championship teams and was voted to the All-Star squad 18 times. All the while Berra solidified his place as one of New Yorks most popular sports heroes. As such it wasnt a surprise that the fledgling New York Mets would want Berra on their team when his Yankees career ended. Yogi played 4 games for the Mets in 1965 before switching over to the role of coach a position he held until 1972 when he was named manager. Dating from the 1973-75 span of Yogis managerial career with the Mets this Hillerich & Bradsby professional model S2 bat is uncracked and shows excellent use. Ball marks and stitch impressions can be seen in a few places along the barrel as well as rack marks. A faded number 8 appears on both the knob and barrel ends. Remnants of a large Berra autograph can scarcely be seen on the barrel. A nice Mets-era piece of Berra memorabilia that clearly saw lots of on-field action.
