Yogi Berra stands in his Yankees uniform in the team clubhouse in this three-quarter-length portrait, a setting that puts the catcher among the everyday trappings of the locker room rather than on the field. The photograph is a contact sheet frame by Marvin E. Newman, who worked for Look magazine, and the March 1957 date noted in the record places it in the lead-up to that season. Berra was one of the most important catchers of his era, a 15-time All-Star and a central figure on the Yankee dynasty teams of the 1950s, so a portrait like this captures a player at the height of his career.
