Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb, Lou Gehrig, Mickey Mantle, Willie Mays, Hank Aaron and Roberto Clemente seem to be in the conversation. But what about Yogi?
A few stats from Wikipedia:
- 18× All-Star (1948–1961², 1962²)
- 13× World Series champion (1947, 1949–1953, 1956, 1958, 1961, 1962, 1969, 1977, 1978)
- 3× AL MVP (1951, 1954, 1955)
- New York Yankees #8 retired
- Major League Baseball All-Century Team
There's no doubt Yogi Berra should be a part of the conversation. What do you think?
