15 Best Yogi Berra Quotes, 'Yogisms' In Honor Of Yankees Legend's Death At 90

Hall of Fame New York Yankees catcher Yogi Berra will likely be remembered as much for his witticisms as his stellar work behind the plate and in the batter's box. Berra, famous and beloved for turning phrases, died Tuesday at the age of 90.

The Yogi Berra Museum reported early Wednesday morning that the three-time American League Most Valuable Player and ten-time champion with Yankees had died the night before. "It is with heavy hearts that we share the news that Yogi Berra passed away Tuesday night at the age of 90," the museum tweeted.

Berra left a mark on baseball and the world at large with off-the-wall sayings that were a combination of funny, befuddling and clever. While it was often difficult to trace back the exact phrasing of the comments made by Berra, the long list of sayings attributed to him speaks to "a character — goofy and philosophical, flighty and down to earth — that came to define the man," the New York Times wrote.
