I'm thinking that that looks like Dean Smith with Al.

Here's something.  Yogi had a friend named Jack McGuire, Jr. who gave him the nickname "Yogi"  (From CBS Sports website)

How did Lawrence Peter "Yogi" Berra get his nickname in the first place? The Hall of Fame bio of Berra says:

One afternoon, after attending a movie that had a short piece on India, a friend Jack McGuire Jr. noticed a resemblance between him and the “yogi”, or person who practiced yoga, on the screen. McGuire said “I'm going to call you Yogi” and from that moment on, the name stuck.

It also has been said that McGuire's realization had something to do with how Berra crossed his legs when sitting.

Also, in his book, Broadcasting Baseball, author Eldon L. Ham says that Al "even had an air of Yogi Berra wisdom about him" before repeating a couple of Al's quotes.  (page 174)

Yeah.

I saw that while searching for a pic.

I wonder if the http://yogiberramuseum.org/ at Monclair State would have a rare pic.

Probably the best bet.  It looks like we're both working for free tonight.

Can moderator status be far off?
