With the passing of Yogi Berra last week, it leaves only 5 living members of the Original 18 baseball players imortalized by Hartland Plastics with their amazing statue series of the late 50's/early 60's. Only Hank Aaron, Willie Mays, Luis Aparicio, Rocky Colavito and Dick Groat are still with us.
Yogi Berra led an incredible life both on and off the field. Not only did he win 10 World Championships as a N.Y. Yankee player- he also was a decorated World War II vet. His famous sayings- nicknamed "Yogi-ism's" made him one of the most quoted celebrities of the 20th century. It would be hard to find anyone who didn't like Yogi.
"It ain't over til it's over" - and Yogi's life may never be truly over as he will live in our hearts forever.
