Yankee opening day, The Kentucky Derby and cheering on his favorite football team (the one he bet on) was like a national holiday to Yogi. He loved a good card, or cribbage game and could debate anyone on current events, pop culture, sports and music. He loved his family and will be sorely missed.
Donations may be made in his name to the ASPCA.
Cheers, Yog!
