Yogi Berra, Yankees’ MVP catcher, wayward wordsmith, dies at 90

Major League Baseball Hall of Famer and three-time MVP Yogi Berra died Tuesday of natural causes at age 90.

Born in St. Louis, Berra played catcher with the New York Yankees from 1946 to 1963 and the New York Mets in 1965. He held four World Series records, including the most number of series’ played in and series’ won, as well as career at-bats and hits.
