Pietro was originally from Malvaglio near in northern; he arrived at on October 18, 1909 at the age of 23. In a 2005 interview for the Baseball Hall of Fame, Berra said, 'My father came over first. He came from the old country. And he didn't know what baseball was.
He was ready to go to work. And then I had three other brothers and a sister.
My brother and my mother came over later on. My two oldest brothers, they were born there—Mike and Tony. John and I and my sister Josie were born in St.
Berra's parents originally gave him the 'Lawdie', which was derived from his mother's difficulty pronouncing 'Lawrence' or 'Larry' correctly. He grew up on Elizabeth Avenue, across the street from boyhood friend and later competitor. That block was also home to early in his Cardinals broadcasting career, and it was later renamed 'Hall of Fame Place'. Berra was a, and he attended South Side Catholic, now called, in south St. Louis with Garagiola. Berra has been inducted into the. He began playing baseball in local American Legion leagues where he learned the basics of catching while playing outfield and infield positions, as well.
He also played for a team under an assumed name. While playing in American Legion baseball, he received his famous nickname from his friend, who, after seeing a newsreel about India, said that he resembled a whenever he sat around with arms and legs crossed waiting to bat or while looking sad after a losing game. Professional baseball career Minor leagues In 1942, the overlooked Berra in favor of his boyhood best friend, Joe Garagiola. On the surface, the Cardinals seemed to think that Garagiola was the superior prospect, but team president actually had an ulterior motive: Knowing he was soon to leave St.
Louis to take over the operation of the and more impressed with Berra than he let on, Rickey apparently planned to hold Berra off until he could sign him for the Dodgers. However, the Yankees signed Berra for the same $500 bonus ($7,489 in current dollar terms) the Cardinals offered Garagiola before Rickey could sign Berra to the Dodgers. World War II and subsequent return to Minor League During World War II, Berra served in the as a on the attack transport during the invasion of France. A Second Class Seaman, Berra was one of a six-man crew on a Navy rocket boat, firing machine guns and launching rockets at the German defenses. He was fired upon, but was not hit, and later received several commendations for his bravery. During an interview on the 65th Anniversary of D-Day, Berra confirmed that he was sent to during the D-Day invasion as well. Following his military service, Berra played minor-league baseball with the, surprising the team's manager with his talent despite his short stature.
He was mentored by Hall of Famer, whose Berra took. He later said, 'I owe everything I did in baseball to Bill Dickey.'
Major leagues. Berra with and, 1953 Berra was called up to the Yankees and played his first game on September 22, 1946; he played 7 games that season and 83 games in 1947.
He played in more than a hundred games in each of the following fourteen years. Berra appeared in fourteen, including 10 World Series championships, both of which are records.
In part because Berra's playing career coincided with the Yankees' most consistent period of World Series participation, he established Series records for the most games (75), (259), (71), (10), (49), games caught (63), and catcher (457). In Game 3 of the, Berra hit the first pinch-hit home run in World Series history, off Brooklyn Dodgers pitcher (who later gave up 's famous in 1951). Berra was an for 15 seasons, and was selected to 18 All-Star Games (MLB held two All-Star Games in 1959 through 1962 ). He won the American League (AL) award in 1951, 1954, and 1955; Berra never finished lower than fourth in the MVP voting from 1950 to 1957. He received MVP votes in fifteen consecutive seasons, tied with and second only to 's nineteen straight seasons with MVP support. From 1949 to 1955, on a team filled with stars such as and, it was Berra who led the Yankees in for seven consecutive seasons.
One of the most notable games of Berra's playing career came when he caught 's in the, the first of only two ever thrown in play. The picture of Berra leaping into Larsen's arms following Dale Mitchell's called third strike to end the game is one of the sport's most memorable images. Playing style Berra was excellent at hitting pitches outside of the strike zone, covering all areas of the (as well as beyond) with great extension. In addition to this wide plate coverage, he also had great bat control. He was able both to swing the like a to hit low pitches for deep home runs and to chop at high pitches for.

Contrasting him with teammate, Wynn declared Berra 'the real toughest clutch hitter', grouping him with Cleveland slugger as 'the two best clutch hitters in the game'. As a catcher Berra was outstanding: quick, mobile, and a great handler of pitchers, Berra led all American League catchers eight times in games caught and in, six times in (a major-league record), eight times in putouts, three times in, and once in. Berra left the game with the AL records for catcher putouts (8,723) and chances accepted (9,520). He was also one of only four catchers ever to field 1.000 in a season, playing 88 errorless games in 1958. He was the first catcher to leave one finger outside his glove, a style that most other catchers eventually emulated. At age 37 in June 1962, Berra showed his superb physical endurance by catching an entire 22-inning, seven-hour game against the., Berra's manager during most of his playing career with the Yankees and with the Mets in 1965, once said, 'I never play a game without my man'. According to the formula developed by, Berra is the greatest catcher of all time and the 52nd-greatest non-pitching player in major-league history.
Berra caught a record 173 during his career, ranking him first in this category all-time among major league catchers. Later in his career, Berra became a good defensive outfielder in 's notoriously difficult left field. Yankee manager and harmonica incident. Berra as the New York Mets' first base coach, 1969. Berra retired as an active player after the 1963 World Series, and was immediately named to succeed as manager of the Yankees. An occurred on board the team bus in August 1964.
Following a loss, infielder was playing his harmonica, and Berra ordered him to stop. Seated on the other end of the bus, Linz could not hear what Berra had said, and impishly informed Linz, 'He said to play it louder.' When Linz did so, an angry Berra slapped the harmonica out of his hands. All was apparently forgotten when the Yankees rode a September surge to return to the World Series, but the team lost to the in seven games, after which Berra was fired. Houk, who was general manager at the time, later said the decision to fire Berra was made in late August and that the incident with Linz had nothing to do with it.
Although he didn't elaborate, Houk said that he and the rest of the Yankee brain trust did not feel Berra was ready to manage. Players, however, said the incident actually solidified his managerial authority and helped him lead them to the Series. Coach of New York Mets and Houston Astros Berra was immediately signed by the crosstown as a coach. He also put in four cameo appearances as a catcher early in the season.
His last at-bat came on May 9, 1965, just three days shy of his 40th birthday. Berra stayed with the Mets as a coach under Stengel, and for the next seven seasons, including their 1969 World Series Championship season. He then became the team's manager in 1972, following Hodges' unexpected death in spring training. The following season looked like a disappointment at first. Injuries plagued the Mets throughout the season.
Midway through the 1973 season, the Mets were stuck in last place but in a very tight divisional race. In July, when a reporter asked Yogi if the season was over, he replied, 'It ain't over till it's over.' As the Mets' key players came back to the lineup, a late surge allowed them to win the NL East despite an 82–79 record, making it the only time from 1970 through 1980 that the NL East was not won by either their or the. When the Mets faced the 99-win Cincinnati Reds in the, a memorable fight erupted between and in the top of the fifth inning of Game Three. After the incident and the ensuing bench-clearing brawl had subsided, fans began throwing objects at Rose when he returned to his position in left field in the bottom half of the inning. Pulled Rose and his Reds off the field until order was restored. When National League president threatened the Mets with a forfeit, Berra walked out to left field with, and in order to plead with the fans to desist.
