Wow...GREAT pic!!!
That is a GREAT pic!!
Actually, those guys rubbed shoulders with him. With sluggers DiMaggio and Mantle as teammates, Berra led the team in RBIs. Over his almost 20 year career and averaged over a 162 game season, Berra averaged 32 strikeouts PER SEASON - incredible - Mantle had more than three times that, and Joltin’ Joe had 10 times as many. Mantle walked more, but Berra had a far better eye than DiMaggio. As a minor league player in a double header, Berra had 23 RBIs! Can you even imagine that - that’s more than most teams score in a week. There may be no greater player, before or since.
Great pic!
Man,what memories-—and they probably all smoked.

Not only did he rub elbows with the best, he was among the best himself. Most games in the World Series, most WS wins, 3-time WS MVP, most RBI’s in the WS among other records. All at one of the toughest positions - catcher.
RIP Yogi. You were the best.
