Was Yogi Beara (sp?) #8 for the NY Yankees? Whoever it was, he was in the 1956 World Series against the Brooklyn(?) Dodgers. Can someone confirm if all this info is correct?
- Thanks, Jinx
Yes, and yes.
And it’s spelled Berra.
Yogi-** whoever it was **? What planet did you come from?He’s still doing commercials fercrissake.
The best bad ball hitter ** ever ** in the game.
And, just to add to the trivia quotient of this thread, Bill Dickey was also # 8 for the Yankees…and Yankees # 8 is the only number in baseball that’s been retired by the same club for two different players.
Except for the Expos #10, for both Andre Dawson and Rusty Staub.

…as opposed to the six players who have have their (same) number retired by two different clubs.
