I'm watching the show right now and cant find yogi's name?

Joe Grifasi plays Yogi Berra. By a small coincidence, he played Phil Rizzuto in HBO's 61* a few years ago. He's been around for a while, usually in small parts. He's pretty much a character actor.

I was wondering the same when i came to this board. Any reason he's not credited in imdb?

Because whoever's been editing this page is lazy, I guess. If you notice, you don't see Kevin Conway, Alan Ruck, or Loren Dean credited, and they're all in this, too. Also, Oliver Platt isn't listed as playing George Steinbrenner, just that he's in it, and it says that Reggie Jackson only appears in 3 episodes and Billy Martin only in 2, which is definitley not going to be the case.

Thanks for the explanation. When I watch the show, the ending credits are shrunk to half (grrr) and they move too fast to read. I usually rely on the IMDb to get credit information, and it's not there. Have you considered updating the page? You seem to have a lot of good information. BTW, who plays Jimmy Breslin?

Michael Rispoli plays Jimmy breslin.
He is introduced as one of episode cast on IMDB.

Another twist... the guy who played Yogi in *61 played one of the victim's father in the hospital scene,
