‘Yogi Berra Made Baseball Fun, Said Jeter In Tribute To The Baseball Legend

Some people just know how to put a smile on other people’s faces, and Yogi Berra was one of those people, according to Derek Jeter.

Berra passed away on September 22 of natural causes at the age of 90 and Jeter was one of several former New York Yankee players who attended his funeral in Montclair, N.J. on Tuesday.

“Berra was a great Yankee, a great man, a great husband and a great friend” said Jeter, as he wrote a tribute to the Hall of Fame catcher on his The Players’ Tribune website.
