Remembering Baseball Great Yogi Berra
Yogi Berra, one of the most colorful and beloved New York Yankees players of all time, has died at the age of 90.
A statement from the Yogi Berra Museum read:
"It is with heavy hearts that we share the news that Yogi Berra passed away Tuesday night at the age of 90."
Berra, who was a 10-time World Series champion, cemented himself as a pop culture figure with famous sayings like, "It ain't over till it's over,” and, "It's déjà vu all over again.”
After Yogi retired as a player, he was able to capitalize on his way with words as a celebrity endorser for brands like Miller Lite, Visa, and Aflac. Check out some of his memorable commercials from over the years.
Berra is survived by his three sons: Larry, a former Minor League catcher; Tim, a former NFL receiver; and Dale, a former Major League infielder.
