It ain’t over for the Yogi Berra Museum.
Berra’s former teams, the Yankees and Mets, as well as Major League Baseball, will donate replicas of items that were recently stolen from the baseball icon’s museum, according to a statement on the Yogi Berra Museum & Learning Center website.
The building was broken into on Oct. 9, and two of Berra’s three American League MVP plaques were stolen, in addition to all 10 of his World Series rings.
“On behalf of the Board of Trustees of the Yogi Berra Museum & Learning Center, we are pleased to announce that Commissioner Allan H. [Bud] Selig and Major League Baseball, the New York Yankees and the New York Mets are graciously donating exact replicas of the items recently taken from the Museum,” reads the statement. “In addition, they also are donating several new items to our existing collection, ensuring that the Museum will be an even better place for fans to visit in honor of Yogi’s legacy.
“Our heartfelt thanks go out to Commissioner Selig and Major League Baseball, the Yankees and the Mets for their generosity, as well as all of the fans and friends of the Museum for their concern and support during this difficult time.
Details on exactly what items will be replaced and when are still not final.
