Custom framed display measures 11.5" x 19.5" in size. Features a 1964 Topps #21 baseball card that has been hand-signed by Yogi Berra (D. 2015, New York Yankees, HOF). The display also features an MLB player release document that has been hand-signed by Ralph Houk (D. 2010).

"Notice to Player of Release or Transfer" dated October 16, 1964, notifying Lawrence P. "Yogi" Berra that he has been unconditionally released as manager of the New York Yankees, which effectively ended his legendary Yankee career, which started in 1946 and ended on this fateful day in 1964 after he appeared in amazing 14 world series for them in 18 years! His unprecedented success with the team meant little to the heartless owners, as they fired him with this document just one day after leading his team as manager to a heartbreaking 7th game loss lost to the Saint Louis Cardinals in the 1964 World Series.
