NXM LOSE OR DRAW

A FUNNY THING HAPPENED to the
Yankees on their way to the American
League pennant late last year. 1t was late
in the season and the Los Angeles Angels,
of all people, were sort of leaning on the
Yankees
The Angels came into New York for
what was considered a crucial series, in the
early stages of which Ralph Houk manager
of the home team, announced Yogi Berra
as pinch-hitter. In a counter-move Bill
Rigney, the opposing genius, called in left
handed relief pitcher.
Yogi nonchalantly was waving his bat,
only mildly interested in the gyrations Of
the new pitcher, when Houk called him back
to the bench and substituted right
handed batter. 1t was at this point that
Jimmy Cannon, sitting in the press box,
blew fuse.
EITHER Yogi's had it or Houk is
panicky," Cannon exploded whoever
heard of Berra being lifted because a
pitcher is lefthanded? Yogi don't even know
this bum is lefthanded because he don't
care" Cannon doesn't write as he speaks,
and vice versa.)
4 y
YOGI OBEDIENTLY RETURNED to the
bench without having actually appeared
in the game and replacement was sent
up But the thought persisted: Is Berra all
done2 Is this the end Of the road?
"Old age is almost incurable," quoth
Cannon from the next seat. still, can't
believe it in Yogi's case"
All of which is prelude to the announce
ment that Lawrence Peter Berra, who will
be 38 years old in May, has been signed as
player-coach of the Yankees. He'll be max
ing reputed $45,OOO in SO, which suggests
that he'll be at least as much pinch-hitter
as coach. But the point is that Yogi, despite
all the jokes, is coaching material, not to
mention some managerial qualifications
1t can be readily believed that when
Yogi said he had several feelerS to manage
in the majors" was telling the truth. Also
believeable was his next-breath comment,
"but never did anything about them"
There is more than one club that might
well like to have Berra as manager. And
there is more than one manager who has
handled Yogi who will endorse him. The
feeling is that Bucky Harris would do it;
also Casey Stengel and Houk.
MOST PEOPLE THINK of Berra as
homely sort of guy who, with his thick,
knock -kneed legs and sawed-off body, was
not entirely grotesque, although he came
