Lawrence Peter "Yogi" Berra (born May 12, 1925 in St. Louis, Missouri) is a former Major League Baseball player and manager. He played almost his entire career for the New York Yankees and was elected to the baseball Hall of Fame in 1972. Arguably the most beloved baseball player since Babe Ruth, Yogi Berra was one of only four players to be named the Most Valuable Player of the American League three times, and one of only six managers to lead both American and National League teams to the World Series. Yogi Berra , who quit school in the eighth grade, has a tendency toward malapropism and fracturing the English language in highly provocative, interesting ways. Simultaneously denying and confirming his reputation, Yogi Berra once stated, "I didn't really say everything I said."

She would also forfeit the ranking points resulting from last year's Wimbledon championships and $US129,481 ($A147,430) in prize money. "The tribunal also rejected Ms Hingis' plea of No (or No Significant) Fault or Negligence, on the basis that no mitigation was possible as it had not been shown how the cocaine entered her system," it said. Larry Scott, chief executive of the Women's Tennis Association, said in a statement: "We are saddened by this news as Martina has meant so much to fans the world over and made many positive contributions to the sport".
