He was a well known New York performer? That's a joke, right? How about Hall of Fame Yankee catcher and Yoo-Hoo icon? Better description?

I am sure as we speak someone is posting on the New York Yankees webpage a question about whether Kinky Boots or Matilda will take home the Tony.

A definition of "performer":

To enact (a feat or role) before an audience.


You cannot deny that Yogi Berra was absolutely a well known New York performer! He was also the subject of an Off-Broadway play.

The choice of word was deliberate. My boo-boo was that I expected that Broadway World legends would recognize and appreciate the (alternate) use of the word.


p.s.


I hope you understand now, because I don't want to have to explain myself --

EVERY YEAR!

Actually, p.s., Yogi has performed roles on TV (The Phil Silvers Show, Dr. Kildare) and in a movie (That Touch of Mink).

I would throw a party, but nobody goes to those anymore--they're too crowded.
