YOGI BERRA THE ENDURING LEGEND by Stephen W. Pollard Sunday, April 06, 2008 Rated "G" by the Author. Share Print Save Become a Fan "Yogi Berra The Enduring Legend" was one of the first poems I wrote in May, 2005 when I started writting again. The idea for this poem came when I saw an article in the paper about Yogi turning 80 years old. I have always been a fan of Yogi's, and how could you not like him in that AFLAC commercial. This poem was also one of the first that was chosen for a poetry anthology, being picked in 2005.
Yogi Berra, he turned eighty Character of enduring legend Helped lead a dynasty in the fifties A team of enduring talents and legends The glamour homer hitting star was Mickey The excellent pitching ace was Whitey The field manager professor was Casey But the anchor and leader was Yogi Getting his turn as team manager Guided the bronx bombers to another pennant A seven game series losing manager And was fired even if he did win a pennant Launching as many famous quotes As with his numerous swatted homeruns Through the many years Yogi's quotes Sayings that we will never get over

You gave alot of good history about him and baseball here and did it in a poetic way. I hadn't realized he turned 80. You are right, how can you not love the AFLAC commericals, they are always so funny. Thanks for this, I feel like I am going away educated, lol.
