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.

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

Berra was also widely known for his colorful sayings, called "Yogi-isms."

The USPS is honoring others with stamps, including science fiction-fantasy author Ursula K. Le Guin.

Cuban artist Emilio Sanchez is celebrated with stamps featuring four lithographs and paintings.

Other stamps honor sun science, the art of tap dance, and a postcard to recognize the mallard drake.
