PSA Comments of the Day 9/23/15: You can observe a lot by watching

Yesterday, the Yankees won one of the most important games of the year. Then, later that evening, Yankee legend Yogi Berra passed away. Rest in Peace, Yogi. You will be missed.

RIP Yogi

"Love is the most important thing in the world, but baseball is pretty good, too." -Yogi Berra

Last night definitely proved how wise Yogi Berra truly was. Baseball was indeed pretty good for the Yankees and their fans, as they overcame the Blue Jays and won in extra innings. The efforts of rookies Luis Severino and Greg Bird were on full display. Severino pitched a great game, holding the Blue Jays vaunted offense to two runs. Greg Bird made sure Rogers Centre heard, as he belted a go-ahead three run dinger in the 10th inning. It was one of the best wins of the year and a much needed one.

It was then announced much later in the evening that Yogi Berra passed away. Words cannot express my sadness over his passing and yet I read about his legacy, his timeless "Yogisms" and smiles just race across my face. I can just watch the clip of him hugging Don Larsen after catching his perfect game in Game 5 of the 1956 World Series over and over again. There's not much more that can be said. His career, his legacy, and his quotes will live on for a long time. He has touched so many people and he will be greatly missed. Rest in peace, Yogi.

Amazing.

Angry Bird was angry.
