Berra never had the power of Bench in his prime. Never remotely close.
Berra was consistent throughout his career, never topping 30 home runs.
Bench hit 40 twice and was known for monster shots.
Berra was a lefty who benefited from the short porch at Yankee Stadium.
Berra averaged twice as many homers at home than away.
Some years, Berra hit three times as many home runs at home than he did away.
Bench also hit a lot more doubles than Berra.

One less plate appearance in comparison to Berra. Yogi must have been on the roids.
