Happy 90th Birthday to Yogi Berra

[LuteHawk]

Today, we honor one of the great legends of MLB. He
played his entire 17 year career with the New York Yankees.
Yogi Berra won 10 World Series rings with the Bronx
Bombers. As a Hall of Famer he was a great hitting
catcher who could hit home runs and drive in runs.

Yogi Berra was 5' 7" and weighed 185 pounds.
Yet in his career he hit 358 home runs and
had 1430 RBI's

Just an fyi, I don't need to know Sparky Lyle's birthday any time soon in case you're wondering.

You're a Yankee fan, I get it. Every time a Yankee great passes wind, you post about it.

Yogi was a great player though...

Congrats to one of the all-time greats. And the really good news is, by his math, he's only halfway to 100!

Yogi went to a pizza place on The Hill in St. Louis.
His waiter asked him if he wanted his pizza cut in
8 slices or 4 slices. Yogi answered, " You better
cut it in 4 slices, I think 8 slices would be too filling".

Yogi gets credited with a lot of Stengalisms. Casey often said his most valuable player was Yogi, and Mickey Mantle(who also had a lot of great comments during his lifetime) concurred.
