Remembering Yogi Berra

One of the first projects I ever did with my friend Mitch Meisner was a painting I made of the famous photo called, “The Hug.”

When we went to Yogi’s museum in Upper Montclair that summer for additional signatures on the giclees, Yogi “Yogi’d” me. He said,..

“You painted this?”

“Yes, Yogi, I did”

“It would be great for my golf tournament.”

“Yes, it would,” I said.

“It was yesterday.” Which indeed it was!
