Yankees baseball legend Yogi Berra passed away Tuesday at the age of 90. On Wednesday night, his beloved city gave him a fond farewell.

Before the Yankees' night game against the Toronto Blue Jays, the team played a special tribute video in memory of Berra. Back in New York City, the Empire State Building lit up Yankee blue and white.

Berra appeared in more World Series games than any other major league player, and was a three-time American League MVP.

He was also known for his quotable witticisms, including "It ain't over 'til it's over" and "When you come to a fork in the road, take it."

We'll miss you, Yogi.
