Yankees great Yogi Berra told Rays manager Joe Maddon that his third baseman Evan Longoria ‘reminds him of Joe DiMaggio a bit.’

Berra is so impressed with the 24-year-old that he approached him before a spring training game on Friday to ask Longoria to sign two balls for him.

In his two years in the league Longoria has 60 home runs and 198 RBIs.
