A loss that unquestionably transcends the game has sent all of baseball into deep mourning. Yogi Berra -- Hall of Famer, all-time Yankees legend, three-time Most Valuable Player, master of misstatement and beloved international icon, is gone. Berra died Tuesday night at age 90.

The announcement came early Wednesday morning and was announced via the Yogi Berra Museum's Twitter account.

“If the world were perfect, it wouldn’t be.”

“The future ain’t what it used to be.”

Quite the philosopher Yogi was.

You can observe a lot by just watching. RIP, Yogi

The Yankees will no doubt show up for the rest of the season with black armbands and number 8 on the sleeve.

Great book. Don't let those seemingly nonsensical "Yogiisms" fools you, In his own unique way, Yogi was a very smart, perceptive guy.

Another thread about Berra was posted at the exact same time as this one (this one appeared first though). It’s now been yanked as a dupe.
