Today is a very sad day in Yankeeland. Hall of Famer Yogi Berra, everyone’s baseball grandpa, passed away late last night. He was 90. The Yankees will wear No. 8 patches on their sleeves in his memory tonight and will surely play with heavy hearts, especially those who have been with the team a while and were fortunate enough to spend time with Yogi over the years. It’s a sad day, though Yogi lived a tremendous life and we’re all better for it.
On the field, tonight’s season series finale between the Blue Jays and Yankees is an incredibly important game.
