To the 60 and above crowd you were one of our heroes and legends. I know this is a basketball board but it is a sports board as well.

Yogi Berra, Master Yankee Catcher With Goofy Wit, Dies at 90

Yogi Berra, one of baseball’s greatest catchers and characters, who as a player was a mainstay of 10 Yankee championship teams and as a manager led both the Yankees and Mets to the World Series — but who may be more widely known as an ungainly but lovable cultural figure, inspiring a cartoon character and issuing a seemingly limitless supply of unwittingly witty epigrams known as Yogi-isms — died on Tuesday. He was 90.​

When you come to a fork in the road, take it.

Looks like he took it. Great sports icon. Will be missed.

I always have been a Yankee hater but loved Yogi, how could anyone not. Truly a legend who continued to entertain us even in his latter years. One of the all time greats. Peace to his family in their sadness and God Bless.

True gentleman. About 5 years ago, when Phil Rizzuto was sick and had full-on dementia, Yogi visited him every day in the hospital for a couple of years.

Life lesson learned from that tiny guy and 3-time MVP on a loaded team.

R.I.P Yogi.

This was not in today's St. Louis papers. Thanks for the heads up. Yogi was one of a kind, he will be missed.

Honestly, I thought he'd been dead for 15 years or so. Had no clue he was still alive.

 

[ukcatsfan1]

damn shame he's gonna be remembered more for the stupid **** he said and not so much for what a great player he was. :eyes:

Yogi says: "I never said most of the things I said."

 

[kybobcat_rivals185207]

It was Booboo's fault! Greedy traitor!

 

[rmattox]

I heard he once ordered a pizza. When it was delivered, he noticed it was cut into eight pieces. He said, " I wish they'd cut it in four pieces. I don't think I can eat eight".

Why didn't they make 2 Yogi's? Because they made a Boo Boo

Who is the greatest Yankee still alive now? Does it jump all the way to Jeter?

did Berra ever collect and royalty checks from the Yogi and Boo Boo cartoons?

No, Lawrence (Yogi) Berra dropped his lawsuit against Hanna Barbara according to this article. Other articles say there was never a suit.
