OT: Yogi's stamp coming out June 24

There's a story Ritchie Ashburn used to tell where he hit a lady in the stands with a foul ball and she got hurt pretty bad. The ushers were escorting her from her seat for some first aid and he hit her a second time. LOLOL. I mean ouch. The version I heard was that she was on a stretcher when she got hit the second time but I don't see how they got a stretcher to her before the at bat was over.

Yogi Berra’s face is on a postage stamp, but his body of work has been underappreciated
Bought a sheet yesterday at the Milltown, NJ post office. The guy in line behind me was there for the same stamps! I guess that we both had decided that when we get to the post office, buy them!
From the article…
“The Yanks were a lot even without him, but they were far more with him.”
He ain’t wrong.
Not to me. I was watching Yankee games back in the mid '50's

Yogi is not the first Montclair NJ folk recognized with a postage stamp. Lillian Gilbreth of “Cheaper by the Dozen” Fame was recognized in 1984.

Yogi Berra is the first player in nine years to appear on a U.S.P.S. stamp. Despite many deserving candidates — including Henry Aaron — it could be a long wait before we see another.

I bought 5 sheets of them yesterday. Very good looking stamp. You should be so proud. One little thing, I do wish that the stamp was a little bit bigger.
In the last year I had been buying the Bugs Bunny, Looney Tunes stamp. That stamp is probably 1/3 bigger than Yogi's. Do you happen to know what determines what size each stamp that comes out is?
Best of Luck,

Bumping this......... go get a sheet or two.....

I bought 2 sheets yesterday. Both will be framed . One will hang in my sons room the other over my desk at home. My wife told me the post office is selling them as fast as they come in. It's a great stamp!
Got two sheets Friday and immediately put them inside the book Zap wrote. Some things go together soooooo seamlessly.
