HAPPY BIRTHDAY YOGI!!!

[HarthorneWingo]

Everybody love Yogi. He turned 82 today. Happy Birthday Yogi. It ain't over till it's over. People tend to forget that Yogi had, among other baseball accomplishments, 358 homers with 1430 RBIs; played in 14 World Series and won 10. He's a Hall of Famer and probably the third best catcher in baseball history. And in 1965, he played 4 games for our NY Mets (he would later manage the Amazins).


My favorite Yogi-ism:

"90% of baseball is mental. The other half is physical."

Here are some others (compliments of Yogi and www.yogiberra.com):

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

"Never answer an anonymous letter"

" I usually take a two hour nap from one to four"

" It's deja vu all over again"


" When you come to a fork in the road....Take it "

" I didn't really say everything I said "

Yogi on the 1969 NY Mets....." overwhelming underdogs "

When asked what time is was......" you mean now?"

" I want to thank you for making this day necessary"
......... Yogi Berra day in St Louis 1947

On why NY lost the 1960 series to Pittsburgh " We made too many wrong mistakes"


" You can observe a lot by watching "

" The future ain't what it used to be "

" It gets late early out here"

" If the world were perfect, it wouldn't be "

" If the people don't want to come out to the ballpark, nobody's going to stop them "
