Berra died of natural causes.

I hate to say this, but I hadn't even realized he was still alive!

The news brought tears to my eyes.

He was an original and so non- assuming.

Me too! I had not heard anything about him for years! I remember when I was a kid and he used to do those Yoo Hoo commercials.

He was truly a legend! May he rest in peace.

Sadly, it appears that The Fat Lady Sang. RIP Yogi.

RIP to a wonderful athlete and a man with a way with words. I love his "Yogi-isns."

"When you come to a fork in the road, take it."

"Baseball is 90% mental and the other half is physical."

"It ain't over til it's over."

"Always go to other people's funerals. Otherwise they'll never come to yours."

"Nobody goes there anymore. It's too crowded."

"Its deja vu all over again."

All these from the comments on Huff Po this AM. My own favorite, said of a fancy hotel:

"The towels were so thick there, I could hardly close my suitcase."

The nicest thing in the Huff Po coverage was a post in the comments section: "Yogi's been traded to the Angels."

Yogi was a wonderful person. He actually gave my College commencement speech along with Bruce Willis. It was great. I graduated from Montclair State. He has his museum there along with the Baseball stadium in his name. He was a lifelong resident of Montclair and the surrounding towns. It was a normal thing to see Yogi walking on campus and holding court with a number of students. A giant among many in his own quiet way. He will be missed.

Sad to hear this.

Rest in Peace Yogi.

Oh, what a wonderful comment, and undoubtedly true!
