Happy 84th Birthday to Yankee Legend Lawrence Peter "Yogi" Berra. It ain't over 'till it's over. May you have have many more Mr. Berra. Below great pics and classic quotes.
He picked up his famous nickname from a friend, Bobby Hofman, who said he resembled a Hindu holy man (yogi) they had seen in a movie, whenever Berra sat around with arms and legs crossed waiting to bat, or while looking sad after a losing game.[1] Years later, the Hanna-Barbera cartoon character Yogi Bear was presumably named after Berra (the cartoon bear's creators denied it), something Berra did not appreciate after he started being periodically addressed as "Yogi Bear."
