R.I.P. Yogi Berra

By Jack Brummet

Of anyone, ever, in the Yankees organization, he was the sweetest and most memorable. His malapropisms will long survive him. According to Yogi, he only actually said a few of the many phrases attributed to him.

And, how many of us have a cartoon character named after them? Note: "According to the creators of the character, Hanna-Barbera Productions, the two were not connected." This is, of course, not believed by anyone.

And then there his long association with YooHoo. What a sweet, class act. You will be missed Yogi Berra.
