Celebrating the wit, wisdom of baseball legend Yogi Berra

— -- Baseball Hall of Famer Yogi Berra, a three-time AL MVP and 10-time World Series champion with the New York Yankees, died Tuesday at age 90.

Berra, standing 5-foot-7 and weighing in at 185 pounds during his playing days, hit 358 home runs and drove in 1,430 runs in 18 seasons with the Yankees on his way to becoming one of the greatest catchers in history. He later managed both the Yankees and the New York Mets.

Although his feats on the diamond were legendary, Berra was perhaps known even better for his sharp wit and famous quotations. 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.
