The New York Yankees' recent acquisition of Juan Soto from the San Diego Padres is reminiscent of the franchise-changing trade that brought Roger Maris to the team in 1959. Soto, a power-hitting lefty, is seen as the missing piece in the Yankees' lineup, providing balance and offensive prowess. Like Maris, Soto is a young player with impressive accomplishments, including a World Series win and MVP runner-up. The Yankees hope that Soto's arrival will rejuvenate the team and lead to success in the upcoming season.
Nine men have been accused of conspiring to steal priceless works of art, sports memorabilia, and other objects over a 20-year period. The stolen baseball memorabilia includes World Series rings that belonged to Yogi Berra, individual awards that belonged to Berra and Roger Maris, and a jersey that belonged to Christy Mathewson. The men allegedly melted down the memorabilia and sold the raw metal for significantly less than the stolen items would be worth at fair market value.
Nine people have been charged with stealing millions of dollars worth of paintings, sports memorabilia, and other valuables, including World Series rings belonging to Yogi Berra and an MVP trophy awarded to Roger Maris. The thefts occurred over two decades at 20 different museums and institutions across four states. Some of the stolen items, including nine of Berra's 10 World Series rings, were melted down. Eight of the nine suspects have turned themselves in, while the ninth is considered a fugitive.

Eight people have been charged for their involvement in a multi-state burglary ring that stole iconic sports memorabilia, including World Series rings belonging to Yankees legend Yogi Berra and an MVP trophy awarded to slugger Roger Maris. The group operated for decades and targeted museums and institutions across several states, stealing priceless works of art and irreplaceable sports memorabilia. Nicholas Dombek of Thornhurst Township, Pa., is still at large and sought as a fugitive. The investigation is ongoing, and it is unclear what, if anything, has been recovered.
