Washington (AFP) - Iconic New York Yankees catcher Yogi Berra, an athlete as beloved for his folksy sayings as for his legendary baseball career, has died, the Yogi Berra Museum said early Wednesday. He was 90.
The Hall of Famer and three-time Most Valuable Player died of "natural causes" late Tuesday, the museum said in a statement.
"Yogi conducted his life with unwavering integrity, humility and a contagious good humor that elevated him from baseball legend to beloved national icon," the museum said.
