Welcome to another exciting edition of Worth the Price of Admission!

Today, we explore the life of Lindsay Berra, granddaughter of the legendary baseball player Yogi Berra. In a heartfelt conversation with Jill Martin, Lindsay shares her unique experiences growing up in a family steeped in sports history.

Lindsay talks about her role at the Yogi Berra Museum. Lindsay also discusses her involvement in the award-winning documentary It Ain’t Over.

A Family Legacy

Lindsay’s story begins with her family’s rich baseball heritage. From her grandfather, Yogi Berra, a Hall of Famer, to her father and uncles who played the game, the love for sports runs deep. Lindsay recounts a charming anecdote about her birth coinciding with the 1977 World Series, where her grandfather’s legacy was celebrated even before she took her first breath. 

But it’s not just about baseball; it’s about the values instilled in her by her grandparents. Lindsay reflects on how Yogi and his wife, Carmen, were not just sports icons but also role models who taught her the importance of kindness, humility, and giving back. 

The Yogi Berra Museum: More Than Just Memorabilia

By being on the Board of Trustees of the Yogi Berra Museum and Learning Center, Lindsay is dedicated to preserving her grandfather’s legacy.

The museum, which opened in 1998, is a shrine to Yogi’s achievements and a vibrant educational center. Lindsay explains how the museum offers various programs that teach kids about sports, history, and the importance of diversity. 

One of the standout features is the Learning Center, where children engage in STEM activities related to sports, explore the history of racism in sports, and even write poetry inspired by Yogi’s famous sayings. Lindsay emphasizes that the museum aims to inspire the next generation to be better people, just as her grandfather did.

“I want kids to be curious about grandpa’s life. I feel like there’s a lack of really awesome role models now.”
