Berra on Mantle, DiMaggio, Yogi-isms in never-published Q&A

A January, 2013 never-published Q & A with Yogi, whose son Dale assisted by emailing back his beloved father’s answers.

Q: How did winning your last championship compare to winning your first championship?

A: They’re all great, but I wanted that World Series championship as a manager.

Q: What was it like meeting Babe Ruth and what did you two talk about?

A: A great honor, he told me to keep it up, I was doing well.

Q: Favorite Joe DiMaggio memory.

A: One time I didn’t run a ball out full speed, Joe got a hold of me, and let’s just say, it never happened again.
