Yogi Berra rushed to FL hospital...
Oh Yogi we love you.
I just heard Fox news say he tripped and fell, taken to the hospital as a precaution. Nothing said about him being in grave condition.
Yogi’s now at that fork in the road.
Yankees legend Yogi Berra was taken to the hospital for precautionary reasons Thursday before the Yankees were set to play the Phillies at Bright House Field in Clearwater, Fla.
Yogi Berra talks with infielder Robinson Cano Sunday in Kissimmee, Fla. General manager Brian Cashman and manager Joe Girardi played down the incident which, according to Cashman, resulted from a fall when Berra caught his sneaker on some carpet and fell.
According to Erik Boland of Newsday, Girardi said Berra was smiling and joking after the fall, during which Cashman said he didn't hit his head. The Associated Press reported he fell on his backside. Cashman said he didn't want to go to the hospital.
Berra, 85, serves as an instructor for the Yankees during spring training. The Hall of Fame catcher, who played for the Yankees for 18 seasons and has had two stints as their manager, has a record 10 World Series rings as a player.
Man I had a premonition of sorts last week about Yogi...
Please heal him Lord or take him home ...Your will be done.
Prayers up for Yogi! Rememeber it ain’t over until it is over.
Hang in there, Yogi!!!
“It ain’t over, til it’s over.” Hang in there.
You should attend people’s funerals, so they’ll attend yours.
Don’t worry, Yogi, there won’t be an empty seat or dry eye. Even if you are a Yankee.
I agree with you depiction of the news!
Sad time when these legends of the past are about to leave us.
I heard nothing about...’Grave Condition.’
This generation is slipping away all too quickly.
Yogi is a treasure, we cannot afford to lose people like this in these dark days.
“You should always go to other people’s funerals, otherwise, they won’t come to yours.”

Did they bring in a neurologist because his speech was confused and at times illogical? :-)
Get well soon, Yogi.
hope he takes it, the right one, that is.
