So I was trying to figure out why Yogi Berra played with the Mets for a month in 1965. Why sign in late April and play 4 games. Then he was cut. Whose choice?
So I’m looking up Yogi in Google News and I stumble across this:
Mets Say Berra’s Job Is Safe–Unless Fans Say Otherwise; Mets Say Public Opinion Can Decide Berra’s Fate
By JOSEPH DURSO
July 6, 1973, Friday
The mauled Mets return to New York today after a week of nightmares and will face Henry Aaron, the Atlanta Braves and new questions about Yogi Berra’s job which the management in sisted yesterday was safe for the time being
I guess things don’t really change.
