TORONTO — One day in spring training about a decade ago, the Yankees’ clubhouse manager, Rob Cucuzza, came across Yogi Berra, who had plopped down in a chair, when he finally struck up the gumption to ask him a question.
“I said, ‘Yogi, I’ve always wanted to ask you this,’ ” Cucuzza said. “ ‘You’ve been watching these guys for two or three weeks now, and you’ve been to spring trainings in the past. So, how would Yogi Berra do in today’s game.’ ”
Berra did not have to think much.
“Oh, kid, not too good,” he told Cucuzza.
