Yogi Berra is one of the greatest MLB catchers to ever play, spending nearly his entire 19-year career with the New York Yankees.
Throughout his time in the big leagues, Berra offered Major League Baseball fans a ton of inspiring quotes, which have come to be known as Yogi-isms.
The 10-time World Series champion, 18-time American League All-Star and Hall of Fame catcher, who passed away in 2015, is undoubtedly one of the greatest Yankees of all time along with Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Derek Jeter, Micke Mantle and Joe DiMaggio. He also motivated a new generation of baseball players with both his play on the field and his inspirational quotes and comical words off of it.
