Here's a snapshot of Yogi with Bobby Brown taken shortly before he was called up. He's wearing a Newark Bears uniform ...

Hi Chris

That is really a great photo of Yogi and Bobby Brown, thanks for posting it. My guess is that this photo is circa 1945-46. When my neighborhood buddies, John and Joe, and I were teenagers, we would ride our bikes to Ruppert Stadium (Newark Bears) to see pro ballgames. For us young kids, it was really exciting to see future stars of this Yankees Triple-A team playing BB. We lived in Hillside, NJ back then which was an 8 mile bike ride to the stadium. TED Z . |

Hi Ted - I've "hated" the Yankees ever since I was a kid, because they always beat up on my Senators! But, the only Yankee that I recall ever rooting for back in the day was Yogi, and I am fortunate to have gotten to see him play at Griffith Stadium in the 1950's when he was in his prime. Of my Berra cards, this one is my favorite:

Nice card of Yogi....one you do not see too often. Hey, your guys had Mickey Grasso behind the plate in the early 1950's. Mickey grew up near where I lived in NJ, only 12 miles north of me. TED Z |

The vast majority of today's drug enhanced puds don't deserve to drink Yogi's piss. Yogi took a break from baseball to serve and fight in Normandy and still put up career figures tough to beat. To think that A-Rod makes more in one season than Yogi did in his career is enough to make me sick. Semper Fi!

Hey Eric
Quote:
Well said......and, I will add this fact: The necessary "ingredient" to a Championship team is a Star Catcher. Throughout the history of BB, most successful BB teams had great Catchers like Yogi Berra. Some more Star Catchers that quickly come to mind....Roger Bresnahan, Bill Dickey, Roy Campanella, Johnny Bench, Thurman Munson, Carlton Fisk, Mike Piazza, etc, etc. There are many more, but I have to run out now.
