Remembering Baseball Great Yogi Berra

Here are 18 Yogi Berra quotes to help you win at life.

Although Lamoriello, now the GM of the Maple Leafs, also was a talented catcher growing up, playing in the famed Cape Cod League, his path never crossed with Berra’s until McMullen hired him to work for the Devils in 1987. “Yogi gave everything at least 140%”.

In addition to Berra’s legacy in baseball, is his legacy in the English language.

Born Lawrence Peter Berra, he earned the nickname “Yogi” from a childhood friend who said the snake charmer in a movie looked like Berra. During his time in the Navy Berra participated in the D-Day invasion of Normandy serving as a gunners mate. The next year, he continued to hit well, but his throwing was so erratic he was shifted to the outfield, then benched. “It stuck”, Berra told the Saturday Evening Post.

“I guess they wanted a young guy” to room with Berra, Bordman said in a 2014 interview with The Star. The world mourns the 90-year-old Hall of Famer who has a record of 14 appearances on total at the World Series. He denied ownership of some remarks and questioned the accuracy of others, but the myriad witticisms assigned to Berra only enhanced his reputation as a beloved and cherished baseball savant.

The museum sits next to the baseball field at Montclair State, home to both the Redhawks baseball team as well as the professional independent minor league New Jersey Jackals.

Yogi, you came to a fork in the road, and took it. That was just what came out. Yogi was all about family and close friends, nothing in life was more important to him. He also led the Yankees and New York Mets to the World Series as a manager.

Rest in peace Yogi Berra – a New York Yankee legend.

Berra was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1972.

He later became manager of the Yankees, was sacked by George Steinbrenner, and refused to set foot in Yankee Stadium for years afterward.

He was sacked once again, in 1985, after just 22 games. Mayor Bill de Blasio has ordered all flags be lowered to half-staff in honor of Berra, who died Tuesday at the age of 90.
