Yogi Berra, All-Star catcher for the New York Yankees from 1946 to 1963, died on Tuesday, announced the Yogi Berra Museum and Learning Center in New Jersey. He was 90.

"It is with heavy hearts that we share the news that Yogi Berra passed away Tuesday night," the Yogi Berra Museum told NBC News.

His Bronx teammates during the golden era of America's favorite pastime included Joe DiMaggio and Mickey Mantle. Berra earned 10 World Series Rings during his career and was a three-time MVP, according to The Huffington Post. Berra was the catcher during Don Larsen's perfect game in the 1956 World Series (see the video below.) He also holds the record for most hits, at bats, doubles and games played in the World Series, according to the Boston Globe.

Berra also played for the Mets for one year before his retirement in 1965, according to TMZ. Known as the best "bad ball" hitter in baseball history - along with fellow Hall of Famer Roberto Clemente - Berra was able to round the bases due to his strange ability to hit pitches outside the strike zone, according to the Boston Globe. "I know I hit a lot of bad pitches," Berra once wrote, "but . . . they weren't bad to me."

Berra was known for his on-field performances and for his quirky sayings, affectionately called "Yogi-isms." Here are some of Berra's best:

- "Baseball is 90 percent mental. The other half is physical."

- "It gets late early out there."

- "If you come to a fork in the road, take it."

- "It's like deja vu all over again."
