    Phyllis Bomberry

    Phyllis “Yogi” Bomberry, softball player, artisan (born 1943 in Ohsweken, Six Nations of the Grand River, ON; died 3 January 2019). Phyllis Bomberry was a catcher for women’s softball teams in Toronto and on the Six Nations of the Grand River. She helped lead her teams to championships with superb hitting and stellar defence. As an Indigenous athlete, Bomberry was often the target of bigotry and discrimination. Bomberry was the first woman to win the Tom Longboat Award as the top Indigenous athlete in Canada (see also Tom Longboat). She was nicknamed Yogi, likely in reference to the great New York Yankees catcher Lawrence ‘Yogi’ Berra, as a result of her skills as a catcher and batter.
