New York Yankees' legend Yogi Berra is getting the honor of his likeness on a postage stamp.

His is one of several "Forever" stamps the U.S. Postal Service is set to roll-out in the coming months.

Berra was one of the most celebrated baseball stars of his era in the 1950s.

The hall of fame catcher won 10 World Series championships with the Yankees.
