Even if you’re not a Yankees fan, or a baseball fan—heck, even if you’re a Red Sox fan—this NYT article on the friendship between former pitcher Ron Guidry and former catcher Yogi Berra is heartwarming.

“He buys his roast beef, I buy my bottle of vodka,” Berra said, with a twinkle in his eye. “We get along real good.”

It’s a nice piece of writing, and an even better piece of life.
