This week’s artifact from the @YogiBerraMuseum is a display of what #Yogi would have been wearing as he crouched down at @YankeeStadium and beyond during the 1950s. Deemed the #ToolsofIgnorance, the nickname is best explained by this description on @MLB.com: “Coined by catcher Herold "Muddy" Ruel, who played from 1915 through 1934, the term is meant to point out the irony that a player with the intelligence needed to be effective behind the plate would be foolish enough to play a position that required so much safety equipment.” #baseball ⚾️ (at Yogi Berra Museum & Learning Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdbgQzwPjsd/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Put in the #Toolsofignorance yesterday to catch a midday #bullpen I could probably sit in this position for hours! Might not be able to get up but I could stay here. It’s been a while… @impactzonenj 📷: @davepfit (at Impact Zone) https://www.instagram.com/p/CapOFo1Ldcq/?utm_medium=tumblr

This week’s artifact of the week from the @yogiberramuseum is the #mittmobile! One of the coolest hands-on exhibits in all of #baseball, you can try on and learn about catcher’s mitts from 1895 through the present! It’s an extraordinary display showcasing the evolution of one of the most important #toolsofignorance in a catcher’s equipment bag. #Yogi #YogiBerra ⚾️ 8️⃣ (at Yogi Berra Museum & Learning Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/Canf3cuPHWP/?utm_medium=tumblr
