Ouch! That is gonna hurt!
No I am not talking about the picture. I am talking about the loss of a great man – Yogi Berra.
In this picture, Berra leaps into the arms of pitcher Don Larsen after Larsen struck out the last Brooklyn Dodgers batter to complete his perfect game in Game 5 of the 1956 World Series.
Yogi gave us colloquialisms like “It ain’t over til it’s over.” But he was more than a wordsmith, he was a soldier, athlete, manager and, more importantly, an honest, caring human being. He knew he was lucky and felt a desire to share his luck through his philanthropic work.
Unfortunately for Yogi, it’s over. But for us the memories live on.
