Dale Berra

This one comes courtesy of Yogi's son, Dale Berra, who signs through the mail for $5.  He signed his 1986 Topps Cards, which shows him as a member of the Yankees, the same team with which his legendary father won ten World Series Championships.  He left me a nice note and partial signature on the index card as well.  Dale Berra played in the Major Leagues for eleven seasons, once leading the league in Intentional Walks.  Thanks, Dale!
