Empire State Building lights up in Yankees pinstripes for Yogi Berra

Yogi Berra dedicated his life to many fine endeavors, but one of his more successful contributions was obviously to the sport of baseball in New York City. He played 19 seasons with the Yankees, won three MVPs, brought home 10 (!) World Series titles and managed seven seasons (four for the Mets, three for the Yanks) after his playing career ended. 

In recognition of his devotion to New York, the city, and more specifically, the Empire State Building, lit up in blue-and-white pinstripes on Wednesday night:
