Yogi Berra, Today we are waking up...

[Pogues]

to find that one of the greats has passed away. One of the best catchers of all time, 3 time MVP, and 10 time World Series champion.

Let's honor him with our favorite Yogi quotes.

I can't find who relayed this, but another player was going to visit Yogi at his house. The player was a bit lost, so stopped at a pay phone to call Yogi.

Yogi: Where are you at right now?

Other Player: I'm at a pay phone across the street from the library.

Yogi: Oh, you're going the wrong way. Don't go that way, come this way.

Being a 10 time World Series champion is probably a record that will never be broken.

Favorite Yogi Berra quote: "Nobody goes there anymore. It's too crowded."

RIP Yogi.

[TranaGreg]

Yeah, sad to hear tho 90 is a pretty good run.

One of my favs: if the people don't want to come, you can't stop them.

[Pauly]

I knew the record would stand until it was broken.

[Judge Jude]

When you come to the fork in the road, take it.

(I guess he did)

[Piney Boy]

Baseball is ninety percent mental and the other half is physical.

Baseball is ninety percent mental and the other half is physical.

That's my favorite too. But here is another.

'It ain’t over till it’s over.'

[Judge Jude]

Yogi's wife Carmen: "You're from St. Louis, we live in NJ & you play in NY. Where would you like to be buried?"

Yogi - "Surprise me."

[Erik]

I usually take a two-hour nap from 1 to 4.

"It gets late early these days."

One of the most beloved figures in baseball history. RIP, Yogi.

I know one of his many cousins, Steve Berra.

Did you know that Joe Garagiola was a boyhood friend in St Louis.

Yogi was a true original. If he didn't exist, we would have had to invent him. He will be remembered with a smile. One of the all time great players, and an even greater sports personality.

To quote Yogi, "The future ain't what it used to be," without Yogi in it.

Actually lived on the same block. Leading to a great (non-Yogi) quote. When someone referred to Gargjiola as a great catcher, he was brushed off with, "I'm not even the best catcher on my block!" RIP Yogi

Yogi has played in more world series games than the Red Sox franchise.

Another Yogi-ism: "Good pitching will always beat good hitting and vice-versa."

When Dale Berra was playing in Pittsburgh, a reporter compared him to Yogi. The younger Berra responded with: "You can't compare me to my father, our similarities are different."
