Yogi: All the Presidents’ Man

An American Life in the National Pastime

Now on display until September 13, 2026

Over the course of nearly 70 years, Yogi Berra shared moments with every United States president from Harry Truman to Donald Trump. Some were brief encounters. Others grew into lasting friendships. Together, they reveal something remarkable about both Yogi and baseball.

Admired across political parties, generations and backgrounds, Yogi had a rare ability to connect with people from all walks of life. Whether in the White House, at the ballpark or on the golf course, he found common ground through humility, humor and authenticity.

This exhibition explores Yogi’s relationships with America’s presidents and celebrates the unifying power of baseball—a game that, like Yogi himself, has long brought Americans together.

“Yogi Berra, philosopher, said, ‘You can observe a lot by just watching.’” - President George H. W. Bush
