    • You can’t argue that Yogi Berra, with three MVPs and ten World Series rings, is not the most successful Catcher ever. Let’s go one step further; those ten rings as a player make him the most successful player of all time.

      Berra’s career was spent entirely with the loaded New York Yankees. Still, despite the legends he played with, Berra stood out, not only with his bat and ability to command a pitching staff, but with his quick wit and “Yogiisms” that made him one of the most colorful characters in all of sports.

      Berra is not here just because he dominated a position but because he dominated the game of baseball.

      We are proud to nominate Yogi Berra for the United States Athletic Hall of Fame.
