Yogi Berra is known as one of the greatest Major League Baseball players of all time. His full name was Lawrence Peter Berra, but everyone called him Yogi. He was a catcher for the New York Yankees baseball team for nearly most of his 19-year career. He won some of the top awards in the sport, and played in many All-Star and World Series games. He also won the American League’s Most Valuable Player Award three times. After his time as a player, Berra became the manager of his former team. In addition to his incredible gift for baseball, Berra will be remembered for what he contributed to American English. Berra had many “Yogiisms” -- expressions or phrases that were not correct but still made perfect sense. For example, he said, “You can observe a lot by just watching; “It ain’t over ‘til it’s over,” and “When you come to a fork in the road, take it.”
