Berra's contributions to MLB history are incalculable, but his legacy might be even better remembered for what he contributed to American language. A sportswriters' favorite, Berra had countless expressions and turns of phrase that were memorable because most of them didn't make any sense. (At the same time, every one had some truth to it.)
