Yogi Berra to have statue in front of his museum

LITTLE FALLS, New Jersey The Yogi Berra Museum and Learning Center announced it would erect a bronze statue of the beloved baseball icon in front of the museum in Little Falls, N.J.

A rendition of the statue, which will cost about $125,000, was unveiled Monday. It shows Berra on one knee in the on-deck circle, holding two bats and gazing skyward.

Museum director Dave Kaplan says the rendition came from a 1950s Sports Illustrated photo.
