Obit watch: September 23, 2015.

Yogi Berra has passed away.

In 1949, early in Berra’s Yankee career, his manager assessed him this way in an interview in The Sporting News: “Mr. Berra,” Casey Stengel said, “is a very strange fellow of very remarkable abilities.”

I hope he doesn’t find heaven too crowded.

The NYT obit, in my opinion, is unusually good, though I’m sure it has been in the files for a long time.
