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.

This makes me so sad.

One of the greatest ball players of all time, the greatest personality of all time and absolute class act. A true gentleman. RIP Yogi.

Yogi would confuse a logic based computer the way Captain Kirk did.

Every story I hear about Yogi, the man, was similar. He was just a great, great guy.

RIP.

Yogi was one of the greatest catchers of all time and the last of the Yankees' golden era.
