There are multitudes of people who have indelible memories of Yankee Stadium, the home of so much glory and magic as the world’s grandest baseball cathedral, now in its 85th and final season. Only eight miles away, the circular and unspectacular Shea Stadium has produced a few tears and hours of enjoyment as an amazin’ baseball stage of its own for four-plus decades, now also awaiting demolition.

Because of our ever-changing society, few things are constant. Even in baseball, where tradition and history are cerished, and storied stadiums seemeternal. But as the Yankees and Mets leave their longstanding home turfs for amenity-filled sports palaces, one notable sage of the New York baseball scene refuses to live in the past.

Yogi Berra – who made Yankee Stadium his home office for over 30 years as legendary player, coach and manager, and Shea for 10 seasons as coach and manager – looks forward to the new evolutionary ballparks. “Why not? Nothing’s forever,” he says. That’s not to say, of course, Yogi doesn’t have his own reminiscences and perspectives of The House That Ruth Built, as well as that younger structure in Queen, adjacent to the old World Fair’s site.

The Yogi Berra Museum & Learning Center takes a look back at Yankee and She Stadiums thorugh Yogi's eyes.
