[Ken N Tx]

NEW YORK (AP) — Yogi Berra, the Hall of Fame catcher renowned as much for his dizzying malapropisms as his record 10 World Series championships with the New York Yankees, has died. He was 90.

Berra died of natural causes Tuesday at his home in New Jersey, according to Dave Kaplan, the director of the Yogi Berra Museum.

Great player and great person. As he said, "It ain't over until it is over." Now, unfortunately, it is over..

Yogi was probably one of the greatest catchers of all times. I would also put Johnny Bench in this category. Yogi was also one of the best clutch hitters in his day. But, as Tony Kubek used to call it, his Yogi-isms were his trademark. There is a mess of them on the internet, but the one I remember most is, "Baseball is 90% mental and the other half is physical." I never knew which man was the zaniest, Casey Stengel or Yogi Berra. Casey Stengel once said, "All right, everybody line alphabetically according to your height."

RIP, Yogi.

Yogi was probably the most colorful baseballer of all time. He had a theory about everything. RIP Yogi.

"It's deja vu all over again". RIP Yogi.

That was one of his classics.

RIP, an icon.

Between Berra and Garagiola baseball became a different sport to watch/listen.
