Yogi Berra’s 1947 rookie jersey found at Boys & Girls Club in NYC expected to fetch $1M in auction

By: Angela Barbuti

This is a real catch. Yogi Berra’s game-worn, signed 1947 New York Yankees rookie jersey is on the auction block — and could fetch up to $1 million. The sale of the one-of-a-kind pinstriped piece of baseball history — which was rescued from the Boys & Girls Club in East Harlem — ain’t over until Nov. 16 at Grey Flannel Auctions’ Holiday Auction.

“The interest in this piece has been extraordinary. Based on the level of enthusiasm we’ve seen from collectors, we wouldn’t be surprised to see it break records and sell somewhere in the neighborhood of $1 million,” Michael Russek, director at Grey Flannel Auctions, told The Post.
