The Poojer Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 Hate waking up to this news, but he had a nice long life!

bbb Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 RIP Yogi. I hope all the people whose funerals you attended show up at yours.
Chef Jim Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 I don't imagine he's going to heaven. No one goes there anymore......it's too crowded.
CowgirlsFan Posted September 23, 2015 Author Posted September 23, 2015 Also, WWII Gunner's Mate 1st Class Lawrence Berra, USN, providing gunship support 100 yards from Omaha Beach. Fascinating... I will remember that when I am there a few days after the Bills game in October.
DC Tom Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 Also, WWII Gunner's Mate 1st Class Lawrence Berra, USN, providing gunship support 100 yards from Omaha Beach. You know, I can't find a single coherent source for his wartime service. The only thing I can confirm is that he was a Gunner's Mate with the USS Bayfield (which would not have been 100 yards offshore) for Overlord and Dragoon, and was got a Purple Heart in Dragoon. Aside from that...stories have him on the Bayfield, detached from the Bayfield, in Italy, Groton CT, Iwo. It's weird. No two sources I've seen tell the same story. I wonder what Yogi's last words were.
The Poojer Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 Knowing Yogi, his final words were probably something like "and THAT will be my last word......"

Reed83HOF Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 In 1950 he played in 151 games and 12 strikeouts the entire season. in his 19 year career, 414 career strikeouts; that's a touch under 23 strikeouts a season. How amazing and impossible is that?
Chef Jim Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 Knowing Yogi, his final words were probably something like "and THAT will be my last word......unless I say something else." I Yogified it for you.
