Berra died 69 years to the day of his Major League debut on Sept. 22, 1946, when he also hit the first of his 358 career home runs.
He was considered one of the greatest players of all time on the field, and one of the sport’s most colorful and quotable characters off of it. Called “Yogi-isms,” these phrases remain common in popular culture, including, “It ain’t over ’til it’s over,” and “It’s deja vu all over again.”
