TEAM ABBREVIATION KEY
YEARS 1946-1963 1965	TM NY NY	LG AL NL	TEAM NAME New York Yankees New York Mets	LEAGUE NAME American League National League

Berra was named to the AL All-Star team fifteen times, a three-time MVP and holds numerous World Series records, including games by a catcher (63), hits (71) and number of times on the winning team (10). Although lightly regarded as a manager, he was the first big league skipper to win pennants in both leagues in nearly forty years.

As testament to Berra's hidden mobility, he logged 2 unassisted double plays as a catcher, tagging hitters and base runners on bunt plays.

Defense alone wasn't making Berra a mythic character. Sportswriters claimed that Berra shared Casey Stengel's gift for butchering the English language. Berra took advantage of his public persona during games. Batters curious enough to listen to Berra's babbling would lose concentration quickly, playing into the shrewd hands of the supposedly daffy catcher. (See Yogi-isms Page for some of his infamous remarks.)
