Blog Kiosk: 9/23/2015 - Dodger Links - RIP, Yogi Berra

RIP, Yogi Berra.

He was an incredible opponent and an even better person. Roundly beloved by just about everyone, Yogi Berra will be sorely missed. For sure, his "Yogism's" will live on forever in folklore - told by one generation to another for the next thousand years or more.

In honor of him I dug up the above press photo from the 1951 All-Star Game. It originally comes from eBay. As you can see, Yogi is sliding home as the ball sails past the bewildered Dodger legend Roy Campanella.
