I had all the Yankees baseball cards on the 60s except one: Mickey Mantle. I did have the one with him and Willie Mays as league HR leaders. I hope you will continue to enjoy the cartoons and little pieces of this and that.
I was sad to hear this too, my husband is a Yankees fan, I’m not a baseball fan… but I do love Yogi’s colorful language and funny quotes. Remembered him in my journal too.
I’m glad I blog. I haven’t seen anything about this. It seems the Pope gets all the publicity. That was a lot of NY stuff to move from FL to NC! Sorry for your loss.

A sad, sad day. Lawrence Peter Berra was a baseball legend and an icon. Although he was a stalwart of the Yankees, dreaded enemy of my beloved Brooklyn Dodgers and Boston Red Sox, he was a kind and gentle man. I spent a few, memorable hours with Yogi during his tenure with the old, bumbling New York Mets. He was very kind and generous with me, then a young reporters. Yogi is again batting cleanup behind Mickey Mantle on that field of dreams.

Carl, I cried too! Yogi lived ten minutes away from us in Montville, NJ, in Montclair, NJ. A fitting tribute by you here! Phil
