One of baseball’s greatest players— and a man beloved by non-sports fans as well — has died. Hall of Famer Yogi Berra, who won 10 World Series as a player and three more as a coach, in addition to three Most Valuable Player awards, was 90. Later in life, Berra was just as famous for his aphorisms as those on-field accomplishments. The Yankee legend was the subject of a 2012 book by sportswriter Harvey Araton called Driving Mr. Yogi: Yogi Berra, Ron Guidry, and Baseball’s Greatest Gift. As Araton told WAMC’s Ian Pickus, Berra stayed involved with the Yankees as long as possible.
