    The game of baseball, and indeed the sporting world in general, has lost a legend.

    Lawrence Peter “Yogi” Berra passed away Tuesday night at the age of 90.

    Still find it amusing that the management of Hanna-Barbera claimed that the Yogi Bear cartoon character was not derived from the Yankees’ catcher…RIP, Yogi.

    As a kid, the family would do a weekend series in Cleveland when the Yanks were in town.

    Early mass on Sunday, right behind Yogi and mates…always.

    As an adult, I live by a bunch of #8’s philosophies. Saloon and restaurant choices…”Nobody goes there anymore. It’s too crowded.”

    “All pitchers are liars and crybabies”
    ….was my personal favorite.

    “So what if I’m ugly. I never seen anyone hit with his face.”
    ….was a close second.

    Stinkin’ Yankee or not, Yog’ was a bad mutha’.

    As a kid growing up …. I was a Yankees fan…

    First day of little league baseball practice (1965), the coach asked me what position I wanted to play…

    I said “Catcher”…

    But, Bill, did you wear “8” like me? First day, 1965, hell, I was a soph at State and on my way to the Army to “catch” some more!
