And, I betcha lots of those 192 base hits were made on pitches that weren't in the strike zone! I was a Yankees hater from early on (because they always beat up on my 1950's Senators), but the one Yankees' player I rooted for was Yogi. I feel he was more important to the Yankees immense success during his time than any other Yankee player.
