Meet Carmen Berra

Berra married Carmen Short on January 26, 1949. They had three sons and were longtime residents of Montclair, New Jersey until Carmen’s declining health caused them to move into a nearby assisted living facility.

Berra’s sons also played professional sports: Dale Berra played shortstop for the Pittsburgh Pirates, New York Yankees (managed by Yogi in 1984–85), and Houston Astros; Tim Berra played pro football for the Baltimore Colts in the 1974 NFL season, and Larry Berra played for three minor league teams in the New York Mets organization.

Carmen Berra died on March 6, 2014, of complications from a stroke, at age 85; the couple had recently celebrated their 65th anniversary.[80] Following Carmen’s death, the house in Montclair was listed for sale at $888,000, a reference to Yogi’s uniform number.
