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.

Always go to other people’s funerals, or they won’t go to yours.

Thus saith Yogi.
