[From article]
Berra played on teams that featured numerous Hall of Fame inductees, including Joe DiMaggio, Mickey Mantle, Phil Rizzuto, and Whitey Ford, which is why he was sometimes overshadowed on the field.
But Berra took second place to no one when it came to entertaining the fans. He is being referred to as an "American Classic." In this, as with most other statements being made about the beloved Yogi, there is understated greatness.

One of my favorites is what he said to New York mayor John Lindsay's wife. When she said he looked nice and cool in his new summer suit, he said, "Thanks. You don't look so hot yourself." A great player and a class act.
