Berra was known as one of the best catchers in MLB history. Throughout his 19-year career - 18 of which were with the Yankees, he batted .285/.348/.482 and amassed a total of 358 home runs. He also appeared in 15 straight All-Star Games. He set the major league record with his 14 World Series championship appearances and 10 titles.

Berra was elected into the Hall of Fame in 1972, the same year that the Yankees retired No.8 in his honor. After retiring from the game, Berra started his coaching career first with the Yankees and then with the Mets.

Aside from his baseball career, Berra was known for his phrases and sayings ("It ain't over 'til it's over," "baseball is ninety percent mental, and the other half is physical," and "love is the most important thing in the world, but baseball is pretty good, too."
