Yogi works out the kinks


By: Yogi Berra Museum - Tue, 03/10/2009 - 4:39pm | Back to Full Blog

For years now, Yogi Berra has been a welcome presence at Yankees' spring training camp. Yet the living legend is more than a reminder of the team's glorious past. He's living proof that size and talent are no substitute for desire and heart. And that for an 83-year-old, he's still in pretty good condition.   As Peter Abraham, the Yankee beat reporter for the Journal News noted in his blog yesterday:     "I wish people could see up close the affection the players have for Yogi Berra.  It's really neat. Yogi was walking through the clubhouse today, and Joba Chamberlain, Ian Kennedy and Phil Hughes were marveling at how somebody his size was such a great player.   "He was on the treadmill the other day. It was going 1 mph or something,"   Joba said.  "God bless him."
