Yogi Berra, who passed away Sept. 22 at the age of 90, played American Legion Baseball for Fred W. Stockholm Post 245 in St. Louis. In an interview with American Legion Magazine in April 1999, Berra said he "loved American Legion ball" because he was able to travel. "I thought, ‘just think if you make it to the big leagues, you get to travel to all them cities.’ I never would’ve left St. Louis without The American Legion."
