Yogi Berra, 80, spends his time
with the Yankees in spring training,
as he has for years. He frequently
drives with Manager Joe Torre,
and helps the players.
Yankees Can't Help Laughing and Learning With Berra (http://www.nytimes.com/2006/03/14/sports/baseball/14yanks.html)
BRADENTON, Fla., March 13 — It was 8:30 on Monday morning, and the greatest living Yankee was watching a DVD in his underwear.
Yogi Berra, two months from his 81st birthday, had the seat at Joe Torre's desk in the manager's office at Legends Field in Tampa. He was wearing a gray Spalding T-shirt, white undershorts and navy blue baseball socks pulled up to his knees. It is the clubhouse apparel of a baseball lifer, and Berra is still in his element.
As players filed in for a bus trip to McKechnie Field here, Berra and others watched a collection of highlights narrated by Mickey Vernon, a star of Berra's era for the Washington Senators. Berra was enthralled.
"I've got to get a copy of that," he said. "It's got old guys and presidents throwing out the first ball and everything. That was a tradition — you open up with the president. I saw Truman, I saw Ike, I saw them all on opening day. We're going back, though."
