Yogi Berra Dies at 90.

[Jakob]

Yogi Berra, a three-time MVP who was the backbone of a record 10 world-champion Yankees teams in the 1940, 50s and 60s and who became one of the most beloved figures in franchise history despite a lengthy estrangement from the team, died Tuesday night, according to the Yogi Berra Museum. He was 90.

Berra, whose wife of 65 years, Carmen, died in March 2014, had been in failing health for some time. His death was announced by the Yogi Berra Museum and Learning Center in Little Falls, N.J., to which Berra had devoted himself in the final years of his life.

Just heard the news and I came here to say what a great man Yogi Berra was. He was a legend, but so much more to me. Yogi Berra was my pen pal in the early 2000's. Why? No other reason besides the fact I wrote him asking for his autograph. He was a gentleman and the reason I fell in love with baseball. I'll forever cherish the letters he sent me and the sincerity that they hold.

RIP.
