Roger from Indianapolis, IN
Always a great trick sports question. I was a freshman in high school. Everyone remembers Bill Mazeroski hit the ball, but very few remember Yogi Berra as the leftfielder who watched it clear the 408 sign. They always remember him as a catcher jumping into the arms of Don Larsen after the perfecto in the World Series of 1956. Yogi is a loss to humanity, not just sports. His philosophical terms were mind-boggling at times, but exactly on point. Yogi was also one of the many young Americans who rode the Higgins Boats onto the beaches at Normandy on June 6, 1944.
