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:
