"Berra appeared in fourteen World Series, winning ten championships, both of which are records.

In Game 3 of the 1947 World Series, Berra hit the first pinch-hit home run in World Series history, off Brooklyn Dodgers pitcher Ralph Branca (who later served up Bobby Thomson's famous home run in 1951)." --Wikipedia http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/a...2/ber0-004.jpg http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/a...ogi-berra1.jpg |
