The Yogi Berra stamp is out today! Nice unveiling at the Yogi Berra Museum & Learning Center hosted by Bob Costas, with Yogi's sons Tim, Larry and Dale and their families. A great day for Yogi, baseball and the museum. ⚾ ⚾ ⚾ #yogiberrastamp #baseballstamps #yogiberra #yogiberramuseum @yogiberramuseum #nj #northjersey #montclairstate #montclairstateuniversity #littlefallsnj (at Yogi Berra Museum & Learning Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQgn3L5AhYO/?utm_medium=tumblr

I hope they installed these driveway stones because they look like home plates. 🏠 ⚾ 🚘 #homeplate #quarantinerun #cliftonnj #northjersey (at Clifton, New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/CO6Cen9A1jd/?igshid=qdnlhmofrld8

I love that part of the Forbes Field wall is still standing in Pittsburgh. And it's one of 52 sites that @clairbearattack and I selected for our story on a baseball site/landmark/attraction in all 50 states (plus D.C. and Ontario). Road trip!

In 1994, we had great seats for a Padres-Phillies game and a fight broke out right at home plate! I looked up the what and the wherefore and wrote it up for the SABR Games Project.

Came across this in a 1961 newspaper. The caption: MILESTONE FOR MARIS - Yankee outfielder Roger Maris holds uniform number 55 in Stadium dressing room after hitting his 55th homer of season to help the Yankees beat Cleveland, 7-3. Maris is the fifth player in major league history to hit 55 home runs in one season. He is now seven games ahead of Babe Ruth's pace the year Ruth hit 60. ⚾ ⚾ ⚾ #rogermaris #nyyankees #yankeesbaseball #1961 #baseballhistory https://www.instagram.com/p/COWNA7fgG1W/?igshid=ufvqllesxr2p

The ONLY World Series trophy with a Seattle Pilots flag is the one the Mets won. It's on display at the Mets museum at the ballpark. 🏆 🏆 🏆 #seattlepilots #worldseriestrophy #commissionerstrophy #nymets #lfgm🍎 (at Citi Field) https://www.instagram.com/p/COJzK2tjqut/?igshid=bwksc72tu3by

On this date in 1964, the Mets played their first game at Shea Stadium. In its last season, 2008, I made sure to get pics of all the neon players that had been added to the outside walls. 🏟️ 🏟️ 🏟️ #sheastadium #imissshea #nymets #metsbaseball #letsgomets #lfgm #neon #neondesign (at Shea Stadium) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNyScJGA3w_/?igshid=15b9msu8mjm38

For my SABR Games Project debut (link in bio), I had to keep it in New Jersey: the first home game of the Federal League's Newark Peppers, 106 years ago today. Nine years ago, I went to the former site of the field, Harrison Park, when it was these old buildings and a parking lot. It's now a luxury apartment complex, with the site of home plate now probably in the courtyard or someone's living room. These buildings stood across the street from the location of the third-base grandstand, the second slide would've been looking toward home plate from that third-base/left-field grandstand, and the shot through the fence would've been looking out from behind home plate. ⚾ ⚾ ⚾ #sabr #sabrgamesproject #harrisonnj #newarkpeppers #newarkfederals #federalleague #baseballhistory (at Harrison, New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNvN4IVA2Xf/?igshid=1wtpp0p1ez4z0

Fun day today at the renovation groundbreaking for Hinchliffe Stadium in Paterson, N.J. (story at link in bio). Larry Doby Jr., Harold Reynolds, Omar Minaya, Paterson Mayor Andre Sayegh, CC Sabathia and Willie Randolph were on hand. Especially like the photo of Larry Jr. in front of the mural of his dad. ⚾ ⚾ ⚾ #hinchliffestadium #negroleagues #baseballhistory #patersonnj #patersongreatfalls #nps #nationalparks #findyourpark #northjersey #njisntboring #larrydoby (at Hinchliffe Stadium) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNqjuADgcO6/?igshid=1c10ub29wuxax
