Yogi Berra at spring training in Florida in an undated file photo.
Baseball Hall of Famer Lawrence Peter “Yogi” Berra — widely considered one of the greatest catchers to play the game — died Tuesday night. He was 90.
Born May 12, 1925, Berra played his 19-year entire career for the New York Yankees, and was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1972.
He died 69 years to the day of his MLB debut: Sept. 22, 1946.
We are deeply saddened by the loss of a Yankees legend and American hero, Yogi Berra.
