"It ain't over 'til it's over" RIP Yogi

[Weird Harold]

Yogi Berra died yesterday (22 Sep). He was 90.

What's your favorite Yogi-ism?

mine is "If you come to a fork in the road, take it."

 

[Que]

"If you don't know where you're going, you will wind up somewhere else."

" You should always go to other people's funerals, otherwise they will not come to yours."

 

[Lancecastor]

I always liked the way he said pic-a-nic basket, and how he and Boo-Boo were always running from Ranger Smith.

Lawl. I was headed that way myself but there are way too many great yogi quotes.

I was just reading in a news piece that his wife once asked him because of all the places they've lived where he wanted to be buried and he said, "Surprise me!"

Of course some of the quotes attributed to him might be apocraphal. As he once said, "I never said all those things I said."

 

[OjosMojo]

If there's a negative to being recognized universally for Yogisms above all else, it's that what he said became more renown than the fact that 8 was almost unarguably the best catcher baseball has ever known.

Only behind Johnny Roseboro and Mike Piazza, of course.

"The future isn't what it used to be."

 

[miles]

"If you can't imitate him, don't copy him."

 

[Wrong Element]

"Nobody goes there anymore, it's too crowded."

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

It's like deja vu all over again.

I'm smarter than the av-er-age bear!

My favorite's already been said:

The future isn't what it used to be.

"if you come to a fork in the road take it"

Even a Red Sox Fan can appreciate what he did for the Yankees.

I once read where that quote came from

A friend said he wanted to visit the Berra's at their home and asked for directions

Yogi gave the directions and said, When you come to the fork in the road, take it.........(both led to his home)

"Nobody goes there anymore, it's too crowded."

Yep!!

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

"Baseball is 90 percent mental. The other half is physical."

"All pitchers are liars or crybabies."

"He hits from both sides of the plate. He's amphibious."

"You can't think and hit at the same time."

"So, I'm ugly. I never saw anyone hit with his face."

"It's déjà vu all over again."

"You can observe a lot just by watching."

"I'm not going to buy my kids an encyclopedia. Let them walk to school like I did."

"Why buy good luggage? You only use it when you travel."

"The towels were so thick there I could hardly close my suitcase."

"Cut my pie into four pieces. I don't think I could eat eight."

"Never answer an anonymous letter."
