Rest in peace, Yogi. You were my idol since I was 5 and never let me down. Really going to miss you.

To quote Yogi, "It ain't over till it's over". Well, rest in peace Yogi, it's over.
I was a Mets fan and my brother was a Yankees fan, so Yogi was always in our "discussions".

From everything I've ever heard, not only was he a great baseball mind, he was an all around great guy. Condolences to his family and friends.

i am just glad he got over his feud with Steinbrennar, so he could get the love from the Yankees he deserved before he left us. God speed Yogi.

Maybe Yogi should be the #1 card on topps next year as the write in candidate since he passed on the day the voting started?
