Baseball Historian Biography

Baseball History Yogi Berra, superstar of baseball, is known to millions who do not even follow baseball. Lawrence Yogi Berra was the American League's Most Valuable Player in 1951, 1954 and 1955. The squatty, 5 ft 8 inch catcher was perhaps the best all-around player in the last 50 years. He certainly ranks as one of the greatest clutch performers the game has ever known. Berra played in every All-Star game from 1948-1962 and helped lead the Yankees to 14 pennants. Yogi Berra's handling of young Yankee pitchers during his tenure turned many average pitchers into mound stars and caused manager Casey Stengel to remark, 'To me, Yogi Berra is the greatest catcher, a great man. I am lucky to have him and so are my pitchers'. Copyright 2003 baseballhistorian.com
