...career. No catcher in history has hit so many home runs (337); no ballplayer has played in more World Series (11) or won the Most Valuable Player award more times (three). Berra can play third base as well as catch, and he is far more at home in the outfield today than he was one day in 1958, when a flyball dropped through his glove and opened a deep gash over his left eye. From deep in leftfield fortnight ago, Berra threw fleet-footed Tiger Al Kaline out at second base in a decisive play that paved...
...magician with a bat, Cobb was almost as wizardrous in the field; he once threw three runners out at first base from the outfield in a single game. And on the base paths he was dazzling.
