I watched every Yankee game on WPIX from NYC as a child. Mickey Mantle was my hero but Yogi was clutch. He may be known best as a catcher but he played left field when Elston Howard joined the Yankees. He played on 10 World Series Champion teams
He was also an anti-aircraft gunner in the Navy and was at Normandy in WWII. His family petitioned for him to be honored with the "Medal of Freedom" ( I may be wrong about the name) but it looks like he will pass on without that recognition
I agree the best Yogiism "Nobody goes there anymore, it's too crowded"
