It's a sad day today. Left us with some of the great proverbs. A great champion in New York.

Yogi, a household name but kind of underrated: 15 year all star, played in 14 world series and Yankees won 10 in his career. !0!!!! He won the American League (AL) MVP award in 1951, 1954, and 1955; Berra never finished lower than fourth in the MVP voting from 1950 to 1957.[17] He received MVP votes in fifteen consecutive seasons, tied with Barry Bonds and second only to Hank Aaron's nineteen straight seasons with MVP support.[22] From 1949 to 1955, on a team filled with stars such as Mickey Mantle and Joe DiMaggio, it was Berra who led the Yankees in RBI for seven consecutive seasons.

As A life long Yankee fan it is a very sad day but also a day to remember a great Yankee. A unique personality and the most quotable Yankee of all time.

Sad news but what a full life. Many good players over the years were major league divas with much less to show for themselves as a pro. Rest in Peace Yogi, NY loses a great player and a really nice guy.

if you see a fork in the road... take it.
Nixluva is posting triangle screen grabs, even when nobody asks - Fishmike. LOL So are we going to reference that thread like the bible now? "The thread of Wroten Page 14 post 9" - EnySpree

RIP Yogi! Besides his awesome accomplishments as a Yankee, he was WWII vet. Believed he was a gunner in the Navy. Just a good to honest hero in every sense of the word. The world lost a great one today.

When you come to a fork in the road, take it.

You can observe a lot by just watching.

It ain't over till it's over

It's like déjà vu all over again.

No one goes there nowadays, it’s too crowded.

Baseball is ninety percent mental and the other half is physical.

A nickel ain't worth a dime anymore.

Always go to other people's funerals, otherwise they won't come to yours.

We made too many wrong mistakes.

Congratulations. I knew the record would stand until it was broken.

This is not a sad day...Dude was 90..The sadness is that I never got to see this great Yankee play baseball..I knew Yogi was a great player but I didn't know about all the accomplishments as an all star and a champion...Some cultures celebrate the lives of those who past...Our culture or more importantly the Yankees should celebrate this great life that has left us...As a Yankee fan, I know him more for his Yogism..I missed out big time on this talent...Rest in peace Yogi and safe journeys...

Yogi lived a great life, and is arguably the most beloved athletes in the history of this city.

One more significant nail in the coffin of the Greatest Generation. Born the same year as my father, but lived 25 more years.

By the time I started following the game he was about done as a player, but he was still a great presence in the game, and the NY broadcasters always had stories about him and his quotes.

Did get to see him a lot when he managed the Mets.


Old school athlete...a dead breed for the most part. Wonder how he would have negotiated the money and media of today?


Another piece of my childhood gone.

So it goes.

EnySpree: Can we agree to agree not to mention Phil Jackson and triangle for the rest of our lives?
