A lot of fond memories watching Berra, Mantle and Whitey Ford during the CBS telecasts in the 1950s. Ol’Diz and PeeWee’s commentary certainly added to the game too. Except for Ford, all are gone now.

His wife asked him where he would like to be buried. His reply: "Surprise me."

We will miss you, Yogi.

To paraphrase that song...”If there’s a baseball heaven, they gotta have a hell of a team”. And now it just got better.

STEINBRENNER: You know as painful as it is I had to let a few people go over the years. Yogi Berra, Lou Pinella, Bucky Dent, Billy Martin, Dallas Green, Dick Houser, Bill Virdon, Billy Martin, Scott Marrow, Billy Martin, Bob Lemmon, Billy Martin, Gene Michael, Buck Showalter, … uh, tut!, . . .George, you didn’t hear that from me.

I guess it really is over.
RIP Yogi.

He’ll play on God’s baseball team...with Ted Williams. Even as a Red Sox fan, Yogi was great...
