A Sporting Attitude in New Jersey

By Linda Tancs

Yogi Berra is an icon in American baseball history. Celebrated as much for his career statistics as for his malapropisms, his dedication to education, sports and community informs the Yogi Berra Museum & Learning Center. Located on the campus of Montclair State University in New Jersey, the 8,200-square-foot facility features permanent and rotating exhibitions telling the unique story of Yogi and explores history, culture, science and society within the larger context of baseball and sports.

Billed as the Great North American Eclipse, a total solar eclipse will cross North America on April 8, 2024, passing over Mexico, the United States and Canada. The path of the eclipse begins in Mexico, entering the United States in Texas, and traveling through Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine. The eclipse will enter Canada in Southern Ontario, and continue through Quebec, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Cape Breton. This will be the last time any solar eclipse will be visible within the United States until 2045. 

Be prepared! So long as supplies last, you can purchase eclipse glasses and other accessories, like a phone app and photo filter, from American Paper Optics, a NASA-approved manufacturer.
