Dale Berra
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dale Anthony Berra (born December 13, 1956 in Ridgewood, New Jersey), is a former professional baseball player who played in the Major Leagues primarily as an infielder from 1977-1987. The son of former Yankee great Yogi Berra, Dale was a highly sought prospect in the 1975 draft. Although he had a promising baseball future ahead of him, the younger Berra never lived up to his father's greatness. Lost in obscurity and tarnished with drug problems, Berra's career quickly diminished after 1986 when Baseball Commissioner Peter Ueberroth fined him 10 percent of his annual salary for admitting in the Pittsburgh drug trials that he was a drug user.
