May 12--Baseball Hall of Famer Yogi Berra, considered by many to be the greatest catcher in history, turns 90 today. Berra spent 19 seasons with the New York Yankees and finished his career with three MVP awards, 15 All-Star game appearances and 12 World Series home runs. He holds the record for most World Series games played with 75.
However, most people today remember him for his funny quotes. A few of his best:
"It ain't over till it's over."
"It's deja vu all over again."
"I usually take a two hour nap from one to four."
"Never answer an anonymous letter."
