kyhawk Posted April 20 Report Share Posted April 20 Netflix or Prime had a show about him, Highly recommended. He caught like 150 plus double headers. That was when they were back to back. Rare struck out. 12 times with 656 plate appearance. Hated Steinbrenner. A great manager too. Managed the Mets in their miracle year. He was an 18-time All-Star and won 10 World Series championships as a player—more than any other player in MLB history https://bleacherreport.com/articles/1115625-yogi-berras-incredible-feat-for-the-yankees-that-no-slugger-will-ever-match Berra made 656 plate appearances, hit .322/.383/.533, and, get ready for this, he struck out 12 times. It wasn't as if Berra choked up on the bat the way Nelson Fox used to do in an attempt to simply make contact. Berra was a dangerous power hitter that didn't strike out. Berra finished his career with 358 home runs. The numbers reveal that in 1950, Berra hit 2.33 home runs for every strikeout. He drove in 10.33 runs for every strikeout. When Babe Ruth hit 60 home runs, he hit 0.67 home runs for every strikeout and batted in 1.84 runs for every strikeout. Joe DiMaggio, like Berra, was a great power hitter, and like Berra, didn't strike out much. DiMaggio's 361 career home runs and 369 strikeouts are the standard used by those individuals that insist a strikeout is not just another out. Berra was close to DiMaggio. He hit 358 home runs and struck out only 414 times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FACT: ***The "Miracle Mets" were the 1969 Mets. The Manager was Gil Hodges. (Berra's best season as Mets Mgr was 1973 when he lost the World Series in 7 Games to the As).
