Yogi Berra, former catcher and Hall of Famer, fell in the New York Yankees' training clubhouse March 10 after tripping over a carpet edge. The 85-year old was treated and released without sustaining any serious injuries. The Yankees' concern and subsequent relief was evident in the number of personnel mobilized over the incident and the many media resources following the story.
