Congrats to Yogi and the entire Berra family.

Don't understand why it took so long. It would have been nice to have him receive it while he was still around.

Very Nice. Congrats to the Berra family!

Truthfully, I have very mixed emotions about this ...

Awesome honor, and extremely well deserved!!!, just am very upset that it took this long and wasn't completed while Yogi was still around.

Anyway, a big congrats to zappaa and the whole Berra family on this tremendous honor.

Congrats to Zappa and the entire Berra family.

A great honor for a great man in every sense of the word. I agree the only thing that would have been better is if Yogi and Carmen were here to accept it in person.
