RIP, Yogi.
Not only could you spin a great one-liner, you were also one of the best ever behind home plate.
Godspeed.
“Not only could you spin a great one-liner, you were also one of the best ever behind home plate.”
Bill James had an interesting article in one of his Historical Baseball Abstract books about how his quirky personality and famous one-liners tended to diminish the memory of how great a player he was - three-time MVP, twice runner-up, plus a 3rd and 4th in the voting. His teams went to 14 World Series in 17 years, winning 10, and the conclusion that Berra, and not Dickey, was the top Yankees catcher of all time was pretty convincing.
