Hi,
Yogi Bear was, indeed, the cartoon bear in Jellystone (IIRC) Park. Yogi Berra was a great baseball player, coach, manager who was famous for his quips (and I suspect a lot of them were intentional -- I've seen interviews with they guy nd he's pretty sharp). I've often suspected that the bear might have been modeled after the player, but I've never bothered to check it out.
Recently I heard that Yogi's son when asked in an interview if he was like his father replied, "The similarities between us are mostly different." Perhaps an urban legend, perhaps it runs in the family :)
