He deserves America’s highest honor for his Yogi-isms alone!
Yankee legend and Hall of Fame catcher Yogi Berra should be awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, according to an online petition that cites achievements like his support for baseball integration.
Berra, best known for malapropisms like “It’s like déjà-vu all over again,” has offered some perfectly clear-voiced words of wisdom like, “Treat everyone the same” and “Respect the game, respect others,” in regard to gay athletes.
Fans have started an online petition on the White House site. It topped 97,000 by early evening with hopes that it will reach 100,000 by June 8.
