Yogi Berra, thank you for making this game necessary.
Baseball is known for its mainstays. There’s the first pitch, the seventh inning stretch. The ostentatious strikeout calls and dramatic double plays are on the list. Then there’s Yogi Berra, one of the greatest Yankees to call Yankee Stadium home and one of the greatest catchers to call the game behind the plate. Known also for terse quips - yogi-isms, as they have been colloquially named - Yogi Berra leaves behind a legacy that extends beyond America’s pastime.
Yogi Berra’s Hall of Fame career began in 1943 with the Norfolk Tars.
