The baseball world is giving back to Yogi Berra on Tuesday in a most wonderful way.

“It’s like baseball is giving Grandpa a great big hug,’’ his oldest grandchild, Lindsay Berra, told The Post on Monday.

Yogi turns 90 on Tuesday.

At the Yogi Berra Museum and Learning Center in Little Falls, NJ, replica world championship rings (10 of them for Yogi as a Yankees player) will be presented by Major League Baseball to the Hall of Fame catcher, as well as the complete set of 27 Yankees championship rings and Yogi’s three MVP awards.

Yogi also will get his Mets 1969 World Championship ring (coach) and 1973 NL Pennant ring (manager).

When the museum was robbed last October, all of Yogi’s rings were stolen, as well as his MVP awards.

Nothing has been recovered. The FBI remains on the case.

A petition is gathering steam to award Yogi the Presidential Medal of Freedom. It’s about the only hardware he hasn’t won.

“You think about what you would give someone for their 90th birthday and for someone that has spent his entire life giving to other people, I think giving him this would be pretty cool,’’ said Lindsay, 37.

“Other ballplayers have gotten this honor before and we do think that Grandpa is just as worthy,” said Lindsay. “He’s like this little living embodiment of the American dream. He was an immigrant, kind of pulled himself up and won more World Series than anybody in baseball history. He enlisted in the Navy voluntarily in World War II, served his country in the D-Day invasion, and I think people forget that.

“He was one of those people who was really just color-blind when civil rights was a big issue. He went out of his way to be friendly and helpful to Jackie Robinson, Larry Doby, Elston Howard and Minnie Minoso.’’

Berra and Howard became close friends.

“He’s just been a good guy his whole life, and then the last 20 years of it he’s really done a lot, opening the museum,’’ Lindsay, a member of the museum’s board of directors, said with passion. “He values education, mostly because he didn’t have one. He sees what it does for people. He’s been giving his values of teamwork, leadership and social justice and respect, all of the things that are important in his life, he wanted to give the kids at the museum.

“We just think he’s done a lot to make this country a better place, and it would be nice to be recognized for it.’’

Yes, it would. One hundred thousand signatures are needed to get the petition to the White House.

“Last year was a tough year for all of us, losing my grandmother [Carmen], and then having the museum robbed, the hits just kept coming,’’ Lindsay said. “It was amazing to see the baseball world rally around my grandpa. We’re all grateful for it.’’

Lindsay will appear on the “Today” show on Tuesday, promoting the petition. Yogi’s health is not the greatest — there are good days and bad, so Lindsay really wants to get this done.

Every once in a while, too, Lindsay hears a new Yogi story. She is a national correspondent for MLB.com and was visiting the White Sox during spring training when coach Mark Parent told her one, a story he repeated on Monday by phone from Milwaukee.

In 1990, Parent, a Padres catcher, was talking to then-Astros pitching coach Bob Cluck, a San Diego native. Golf was the topic. This was during batting practice, and Yogi was a coach with the Astros, standing on his stepstool to see over the batting cage pads to watch batting practice.

Cluck was lamenting his golf game had completely stalled.

“I’ve hit a plateau,’’ Cluck said.

Yogi listened intently.

“Whenever I hit a plateau,’’ Yogi offered earnestly, “I always use my 7-iron.’’

Thinking back on the memory, Parent laughed, and said, “I’ve got my own Yogi-ism, right from the horse’s mouth. Imagine that.’’

Yes, Yogi remains a national treasure. And we are all a little better for having him in our baseball lives.
