Funny how so many of these posts are about his sayings instead of his absolutely INCREDIBLE career.

Listening to Tim Kurkjian on ESPN this morning:

Said he was the second greatest catcher in history behind Johnny Bench.

3 MVPs, at two positions
4 other Top 4 MVP finishes
TEN World Series rings as a player, the only player to do so!!

Seasons where he hit more homers than he had strikeouts. One year he had 28 homers and only struck out 12 times!!

The most amazing stat they discussed: caught both games of a doubleheader 118 times!!!

And only 5’7” and 185 lbs.

And to think just the other day we had a thread here talking about who were the greatest catchers ever.

Yogi was an incredible baseball player.
