“When Yogi first went to the minors, he spent one doubleheader driving in 23 runs. When the future Mrs. Berra heard about that day, she deadpanned, “I figured he had a future.” Did she figure she’d be marrying a man who’d become an American icon? Decades later, he signed an anniversary card to her with “Love, Yogi Berra.” “I was actually kind of glad he thought to sign his last name,” she told a New York writer. “I wouldn’t have wanted to confuse him with all the other Yogis I know.”

Seems Mrs. Berra had a good sense of humor.

That she did.

Classic Berra mishap:

In 1964, when he managed the Yankees, Yogi was invited to be the mystery guest on television's What's My Line. The panel needed about three seconds to figure him out. (OK, that's a slight exaggeration.) To fill in the time, host John Daly brought Carmen Berra out and introduced her as "Yogi's lovely bride."

The CBS switchboards went nuclear with indignant calls demanding to know how Yogi got away with dumping his wife and three kids for that little homewrecker!

I'm sure the Berras had a good laugh over it. This pic was taken not long before that What's My Line appearance:
