    What is Yogi up to these days. Where is Yogi living these days? I hope he's living a pain free healthy retirement. Tho' to Yogi that would be in a Dugout, I imagine.

    I got to see him play toward the end of his career but I was to young to really appreciate him. He's only one of a few great Yankees from the 50s & 60s that are still with us. Once he & Ford go the old timers games will never be the same for people my age or older. Or MUCH older like Ron.

    ...I'm surprised he's lasted this long after losing Carmen.

    I'm far too young to have seen him play, but got to meet him... very nice guy!

    And my father-in-law worked for a car dealership in which Yogi routinely brought his vehicle in for service so Yogi (at one point) knew him by name as they interacted multiple times together

    ...does Yogi just have to sniff the book or does he actually have to hook up with Minka?
