The legend himself Lawrence Peter “Yogi” Berra passed awaythis past Wednesday.
Yogi was the N.Y. Yankees catcher for 19 seasons, while having to take some time off due to WWII, Yogi could’ve easily played more baseball than that.
Yogi is most famous for his absolutely outrageous quotes
such as, “When you come to a fork in the road, take it”, or, “You can observe a
lot by just watching”. But aside from
all the humor he caused he was a very well respected and appreciated player
around the league. Yogi to this day
still continues to be the Yankee catcher with most hits of all time in the
organization, and was a 18 time All-Star, and 10 World Series Championships, just
outstanding numbers for any player.
Yogi died peacefully in his home in Northern N.J. With his number being retired all around
baseball, it is safe to say it was a mournful day for baseball fans all around
the country. Like Yogi used to always
say, “It’s not over until it’s over”.
Rest in peace to the greatest Yankees catcher of all time.
