The family of the late, iconic New York Yankees catcher Yogi Berra, and Yankees “Perfect Game” pitcher Don Larsen will sell pieces of their personal baseball memorabilia collections in an on-line auction through Steiner Sports Memorabilia. The “Fall Classic Auction” will begin today (Tuesday, September 13), and continue through October 23, it was announced today by company CEO Brandon Steiner.

Visit http://auction.steinersports.com/ to bid.

The treasure trove of memorabilia, called by Steiner “our biggest auction in history,” that includes 2,500 gems for collectors highlighted by Berra’s 1953 World Series Championship ring, which was the only one of his 10 title rings that the legend actually wore after winning five straight Fall Classics from 1949 through 1953; as well as both his National Baseball Hall of Fame ring and plaque which were presented upon his induction in 1972, and a vintage,1961 game-used, home pinstripe #8 jersey; Larsen’s “Babe Ruth Award,” which was presented to the hurler as the 1956 World Series Most Valuable Player in recognition of his historic Fall Classic performance, heads the Larsen lot.

The Berra collection also includes a bevy of photographs, his driver’s license, credit cards, signed checks, signed contracts, signed baseball cards and other personal documents.

Berra’s sons Larry, Tim and Dale Berra decided to give their father’s legion of fans the chance to own a piece of history. “It is a pleasure and honor for the Berra family to share dad’s history with his many followers,” said Dale Berra, “because they are responsible for his legacy.”

“His ’53 championship ring is a real collector’s item because it has a diamond ‘Five’ on it,” added Dale. “It was given to the few players like dad and Phil Rizzuto who had won five World Series in a row. That’s a very special piece.”

Many of the Larsen pieces are connected to his 1956 World Series Perfect Game, including a 1956 letter from President Dwight D. Eisenhower, and 2006 letters from Governor George Pataki and Mayor Rudy Giuliani of in celebration of the 50th Anniversary of the “Perfecto.”

MLB Network host and analyst Brian Kenny will discuss all things baseball and his acclaimed new book, Ahead of the Curve: Inside the Baseball Revolution at the Yogi Berra Museum & Learning Center on Sept. 27 at 7 p.m., followed by a booksigning.

One of the game’s most eloquent and passionate observers, Kenny uses stories from baseball’s present and past to examine why fans sometimes choose ignorance over information, and how tradition can trump logic, even when directly contradicted by evidence. His book frames the new way in which baseball insiders are thinking about the game, and why fans, journalists and organizations should embrace straightforward logic.

In Ahead of the Curve, Kenny talks about finding the next competitive advantage through statistical analysis, the merits of the current All-Star Game format, the importance of keeping pace of play moving, and more.

Kenny has been at MLB Network since 2011 and currently hosts “MLB Now,” a one-hour panel discussion that covers breaking news and the most recent trends in the game. He previously worked at ESPN, where he was an anchor of “SportsCenter” and “Baseball Tonight.”

Books are available for purchase at the Museum. To RSVP call (973) 655-2378.

A lot of firsts at Yankee Stadium on Saturday… and a new one from Topps to mark the occasion.

Yankees rookies Tyler Austin and Aaron Judge’s historic debut, in which each hit home runs in their respective first at bats—back-to-back, no less—have earned them their first Topps Card as part of the highly successful ToppsNow Card program, which provides fans with daily card cards for purchase.

Whereas fans in previous years would have had to wait months for the card, they can order an unlimited number for the next 24 hours at Topps.com and receive the card within 3-5 business days.

TOPPS NOW was launched at the start of the MLB season and has been a tremendous hit among fans with hundreds of thousands of cards ordered to date.

Ichiro Suzuki set a one day sales record of over 11,550 cards sold for following his 3,000th hit last week. New York Mets’ Bartolo Colon is the second-most most ordered TOPPS NOW card of 2016 with over 8,000 cards delivered following the All-Star pitcher’s unbelievably glorious home run against the San Diego Padres in May.

David Ortiz of the Boston Red Sox has the third-most demanded card to date with over 4,500 cards ordered for his memorable All-Star Game helmet tip. The TOPPS NOW Ichiro commemorative relic card marked only the second time such a TOPPS NOW relic card has been offered.  The first TOPPS NOW commemorative relic card offer which featured All-Star Game MVP Eric Hosmer of the Kansas City Royals sold out in just 20 minutes.

Topps, Major League Baseball and the Major League Baseball Players Association (MLBPA) have announced that they are joining with hobby stores to celebrate National Baseball Card Day on Saturday, with limited edition six-card packs available at participating shops around the country.

He may have posted only slightly more than 10% of his hits with the Yankees, but Ichiro Suzuki‘s run in pinstripes was mostly a success.

The all-time combined Japanese and MLB hit king was a fan favorite in his two-plus years in the Bronx, and more than a few Yankee fans likely followed his chase for 3,000 hits in earnest.

When he reached that goal with the best of hits—a triple—yesterday, Topps honored the career .312 hitter with a TOPPS NOW card to commemorate the event.

Cards will only be available to order for 24 hours from Topps.com and then ship to fans within 3-5 business days. TOPPS NOW was launched at the start of the MLB season and has been a tremendous hit among fans with hundreds of thousands of cards ordered to date.
