The word "humble" kept coming up in the family's hourlong talk Thursday
Yogi Berra passed away at the age of 90 on Tuesday. He is among the classiest and most-quoted athletes in sports history.
The Yankees had Berra's No. 8 on the sleeve of their gray road jerseys, and New York's lineup cards had an image of Berra wearing catcher's gear in the background.
After an emotional loss to the Toronto Blue Jays, what's it going to take for the New York Yankees to have a chance of winning the AL East?
Berra, who filled baseball's record book as well as "Bartlett's Familiar Quotations," died of natural causes at his home in New Jersey, according to Dave Kaplan, the director of the Yogi Berra Museum.
There's little doubt that the one and only Yogi Berra, who passed away Tuesday at the age of 90, was perhaps the greatest catcher in the history of baseball.
We've lost a national treasure, the last of the true baseball legends.
Here are images from the life and extraordinary career of Yankees' legend Yogi Berra, who died Wednesday at the age of 90.
He was a true hero as a World War II vet, one of the greatest baseball players of all time and one of the most instantly recognizable people this country has ever seen.
Greg Bird hit a three-run homer in the 10th inning Tuesday and the New York Yankees defeated the Toronto Blue Jays 6-4.
New York had hoped Eovaldi might be able to rejoin the rotation if New York reaches the playoffs, but Girardi acknowledged that prospect is less likely.
David Price pitched seven scoreless innings to win his fourth consecutive start, and the Toronto Blue Jays defeated the New York Yankees 4-2 Monday night.
So much for that pitching plan the Yankees had for Toronto.
For one night, at least, the beneficiaries of the innings limits placed on New York Mets right-hander Matt Harvey were the Mets' biggest rivals.
Michael Pineda pitched into the sixth inning and Carlos Beltran and Brian McCann hit long home runs in the Yankees' 5-0 win over the Mets in the middle game of the Subway Series on Saturday at Citi Field.
For the first time in a long time the Subway Series between the Yankees and Mets really means something.
To make the Subway Series his own would skyrocket the standing of the 22-year-old rookie who already looks like he's played up here for a decade.
The Mets have to dig out of the monetary, personnel and cultural hole they've dug over the last decade. The last seven weeks have been a revelation. But only if they finish the job. And that starts Friday.
The Yankees need wins in the worst way. They'll have to go through three of the Mets' best young arms to get them.
First baseman Greg Bird had a double and a home run to lead the New York Yankees to a 3-1 win over the Tampa Bay Rays at Tropicana Field on Wednesday.
New York Yankees designated hitter Alex Rodriguez homered in his first at-bat hours after the team learned he was playing with a bruised left knee.
Girardi is reluctant to even think about setting up Tanaka for a wild-card game. His eyes are still trained on the division title. But he must at least consider the consolation prize.
With the Yankees fighting tooth and nail to stay in the AL East race, they can ill afford to have one of their best hitters go in the tank.
Slade Heathcott hit a three-run homer to cap a ninth-inning rally by the New York Yankees in a 4-1 win over the Tampa Bay Rays at Tropicana Field on Monday night.
Masahiro Tanaka pitched seven outstanding innings and the New York Yankees averted a four-game sweep with a 5-0 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays on Sunday afternoon.
