Yogi Berra

10 World Series rings and the most quotable man in sport — Yogi-isms became a cultural institution.

Lawrence Peter Berra was born in St Louis, Missouri in 1925. He caught for the New York Yankees from 1946 to 1963. He won 10 World Series rings — the most by any player in MLB history. He was named AL MVP three times. His Yogi-isms — "It ain't over 'til it's over," "When you come to a fork in the road, take it" — are the most quoted individual phrases in American sports culture. He served in the US Navy at Normandy. He managed the Yankees to the pennant in 1964 and was fired the next day. He later managed the Mets.
