About Yogi Berra, Hall of Famer

Lawrence Peter Berra, born in St. Louis in 1925, became one of baseball's greatest catchers during his 19 seasons in Major League Baseball. Playing primarily for the New York Yankees from 1946 to 1963, he was an 18-time All-Star with a .285 career batting average, 358 home runs, and 1,430 RBIs. His 10 World Series championships as a player remain an MLB record. Despite standing just 5'7", Berra won three American League MVP awards and excelled both offensively and defensively behind the plate. After retiring as a player, he managed and coached for the Yankees, Mets, and Astros. He was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1972.

Did you know? At age 37 in June 1962, Berra caught an entire 22-inning, seven-hour game against the Detroit Tigers.
