Yogi
Berra, one of baseball’s greatest catchers and characters, who as a
player was a mainstay of 10 Yankee championship teams and as a manager
led both the Yankees and Mets to the World Series — but who may be more
widely known as an ungainly but lovable cultural figure, inspiring a
cartoon character and issuing a seemingly limitless supply of
unwittingly witty epigrams known as Yogi-isms — died Tuesday. He was 90.
His
death was reported by the Yankees and by the Yogi Berra Museum and
Learning Center Museum in Little Falls, N.J. Before moving to an
assisted living facility in nearby West Caldwell, in 2012, Berra had
lived for many years in neighboring Montclair.
