A guy I used to work with told a story that his uncle owned a bar where sometimes some of the Yankees would hang out. He was about ten and his uncle would tell him and the other kids to leave the guys alone. But one time they are hanging around and after a long afternoon in the bar the players come strolling out. He sees Mickey Mantle and decides to ask him for an autograph. A wildly overserved Mick puts his palm over the kids face and pushes him to the ground. Mick walks away and starts getting into a car when Yogi grabs him from behind spins him around and starts yelling at him. Yogi makes him walk back to the kid shake his hand and apologize, which he does. Yogi always seemed like such a decent guy to me. RIP
Great guy. Greatest catcher ever.
