Yogi Berra – real name is Lawrence Peter Berra – a baseball legend and one of the most quoted personalities! I thought that I would share with you some of his most famous quotes.
Yogi Berra
*”When you come to a fork in the road, take it!”
*When asked what time it was, Yogi replied, “You mean now?”
*”You can observe a lot just by watching.”
*”You’ve got to be very careful if you don’t know where you’re going, because you might not get there.”
*”I knew I was going to take the wrong train, so I left early.”
*When asked if he had been to a particular restaurant he said, “Nobody goes there anymore; it’s too crowded.”
*Once, Yogi’s wife Carmen asked, “Yogi, you are from St. Louis, we live in New Jersey, and you played ball in New York. If you go before I do, where would you like me to have you buried?” Yogi replied, “Surprise me.”
*In reply to “Hey Yogi, I think we’re lost,” he said, “Yeah, but we’re making great time!”
*Upon receiving a check from Jack Buck made out to “bearer,” Yogi said, “How long have you known me, Jack? And you still don’t know how to spell my name.”
*”You should always go to other people’s funerals; otherwise, they won’t come to yours.”
*”You give 100 percent in the first half of the game, and if that isn’t enough in the second half you give what’s left.”
*At a party, “It was impossible to get a conversation going; everybody was talking too much.”
*”You better cut the pizza in four pieces because I’m not hungry enough to eat six.”
*”This is like deja vu all over again.”
*”Baseball is 90% mental — the other half is physical.”
*”A nickel isn’t worth a dime today.”
*”90% of the putts that are short don’t go in.”
*George Bush stated that Texas was important to the election campaign when he was running for office. Yogi said, “Texas has a lot of electrical votes.”
*Someone told Yogi that he looked cool. Yogi replied, “Thanks, you don’t look so hot yourself.”
*”The towels were so thick there I could hardly close my suitcase.”
And finally, Yogi said, “I didn’t really say everything I said.”
