Jorge Posada was called on yesterday to give out some catching tips, but it was not to benefit the newest Yankees catching prospect. The tips were for actor Michael Imperioli, best known as “Christopher Moltisanti” on the HBO series “The Sopranos.”

The actor is playing a catcher in a TV movie, “For One More Day,” which is scheduled to air near Christmas. Imperioli came to Yankee Stadium yesterday to chat up the Yankees catcher about playing behind the plate.

“I like to get a lot of different impressions, you know: what they do, where their head’s at,” Imperioli said. “He’s my favorite catcher.”

Imperioli said he is a lifelong Yankees fan who first took in a game in 1969 on “Mickey Mantle Day.” Yesterday, he had his 9-year-old son with him watching batting practice.

“It’s surreal,” he said. “There’s just like this magnetic pull that this place has.”
