Incorrect postmark was applied at the processing center

Yogi Berra - New Jersey Jackals

June 24, 2021 Little Falls, NJ

Yogi Berra Stadium

Just as I have done with my children, when we are on the field, we take a dirt smudge. This smudge was taken from the back of the pitchers mound. Following the Yogi Berra stamp ceremony, the field was open to fans to run the bases, have a catch, sit in the dugouts... and enjoy the atmosphere of baseball

Roy Campanella - Yogi Berra

dual fist day cover for Roy Campanella 2006 and Yogi Berra 2021

hand drawn Yogi cachet

in my family Roy Campanella was the best catcher in New York, they followed the Dodgers

The Dodgers left when I was growing up, so I followed the Yankees and Berra was better known to me

I originally honored Berra with this cachet on the Campanella cover and have now truly been able to add Yogi

Manama is a township in the United Arab Emirates, one of two enclaves of the emirate of Ajman.

In 1963, Britain ceded responsibility for the areas postal systems, an American philatelic entrepreneur, Finbar Kenny, saw the opportunity to create a number of editions aimed at the lucrative collector's market and in 1964 concluded a deal with cash-strapped Ajman to produce stamps for the government - - Dunes Stamps - Wikipedia

Lou Gehrig - ALS Awareness Day

June 2, 2021 Lou Gehrig - ALS Awareness Day

Major League Baseball declared June 2 to be Lou Gehrig Day

June 2 is significant as it was the day in 1925 that he replaced Wally Pip as the Yankees regular first baseman, and the day of his death in 1941 two years following his diagnosis with ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis)

On this day the Somerset Patriots, which became the AA-affiliate of the New York Yankees in the 2021 season,  defeated the Reading Fighting' Phils 5-4

Yankees pitcher Zach Britton, threw 27 pitches in a rehab start for the Patriots

I also add the Major League Baseball passport stamp to the Lou Gehrig first day cover to commemorate the event, as well as to my passport
