Ken Rosenthal wrote of a documentary on Yogi Berra. I hope I get the chance to see it. Berra has been reduced to a caricature based on his looks and malapropisms. In fact, there is a solid argument that he’s the greatest catcher in history. 19 years. He played in 18 All-Star games. Won 10 WS as a player. Most in history. He also landed at Normandy and won a Purple Heart.  

Check out his numbers. Here is a sample: 1950. 151 games. .322/.383/.533/.915. 28 HRs. 124 RBIs. Oh, he struck out 12 times. 12. All season. Yeah, the game has changed. Still, that’s incredible.
