Yellen reminded New York University students in Yankee Stadium that even Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig and Joe DiMaggio failed most of the time they stepped to the plate, according to a text of her remarks. And what example did Yellen find for such an inspirational beacon of bravery? Why, her predecessor, Ben Bernanke.”
