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.

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.”

….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’.

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