MONTCLAIR -- Babies born in New Jersey Friday are being christened into a baseball legacy.
To celebrate May 12 - which would have been the 92nd birthday of MLB great Yogi Berra - the Montclair museum honoring his legacy is making a donation it hopes will usher in a new generation of Yogi fans.
The Yogi Berra Museum and Learning Center donated Yogi baby hats and free museum family memberships to all of the babies born Friday at 19 New Jersey hospitals.
"While Yogi is sadly no longer with us, the values that made him a national treasure - respect, sportsmanship, perseverance and excellence - are more important today than ever," Eve Schaenen, the museum's executive director, said in a statement about the donation.
