Prior to taking the field against the Chicago White Sox on Thursday, the Yankees paid an amazing tribute to Yogi Berra
The New York Yankees, as well as the rest of the baseball world, lost one of the all-time greats this week. Legendary catcher and manager Yogi Berra died Tuesday evening at the age of 90. Throughout the course of the last 24 hours we’ve seen some amazing tributes to Berra, but of course, a lot of people were waiting for the Yankees to have their turn in the Bronx.
On Thursday night prior to the Yankees playing the first game of their series at home against the Chicago White Sox, they did just that. And as you would expect from them, it was simply amazing.
While he was also known for his time as a member of the New York Mets organization, it pretty much goes without saying that most remember him from his time as a player with the Yankees. He was an integral part of that dynasty in the 50s and 60s, even going so far as moving to the outfield when his career was over.
This man truly loved the Yankees organization and everything they represent, and from this tribute, you can tell how much he was loved back as well.
