That's crap. White Sox fans like to punch people in the face as much as or more than anyone.

Kidney problems in the family and he'll likely be donating one soon.

Really sweet story about the friendship between Yogi Berra & Ron Guidry.

http://www.nytimes.com/2011/02/24/sports/baseball/24yogi.html?_r=1&hp

I've met Yogi on a bunch of occasions and found him to be one of the very nicest people you could meet.

Somehow, it seemed especially poignant in light of the discussions of some of the cross generational friendships that spnited had formed with some of the boards younger members.

Harvey Araton has expanded this article into a book: http://amzn.to/AhLQvm

Can't wait to read it.

Funny too. I feel like I was in on the ground floor on this one. When Araton first wrote the article, he tweeted a link to it. I tweeted back that it sounded like it could be a book, and he replied that he was thinking about it.

Hadn't thought any more about it until I saw a tweet from the Yogi Berra museum promoting a book signing.
