Yogi Berra was a legendary baseball player and manager who played for the New York Yankees from 1946 to 1965. His full name was Lawrence Peter Berra, but he was better known as YOGI. Maris is a reference to Roger Maris, a former teammate of Berra's on the Yankees who famously broke Babe Ruth's single-season home run record in 1961. Yogis is a reference to the Hindu ascetic, a spiritual teacher who practices meditation and other spiritual disciplines. MITTS is a reference to catcher's MITTS, which Berra used during his career. MITT is a reference to the same item, but with only four letters. Finally, Hinduascetic is a reference to the spiritual teachers of Hinduism, of which YOGI Berra was an adherent.
