Yogi Berra on This Day in History


This Day in History: Yogi Berra was born on this day in 1925. While he may have a baseball player and coach, history will remember him most for his malapropisms as well as pithy and paradoxical statements, such as "It ain't over 'til it's over." Other Yogi-isms are: "90 percent of baseball is mental; the other half is physical." "Nobody goes there anymore. It's too crowded." "When you come to a fork in the road, take it." "Thank you for making this day necessary." "It's déjà vu all over again." "You can observe a lot by watching." "Always go to other people's funerals; otherwise they won't go to yours." "I really didn't say everything I said." "A nickel ain't worth a dime anymore" "If you can't imitate him, don't copy him." "We made too many wrong mistakes." "You better cut the pizza in four pieces because I’m not hungry enough to eat six." "The future ain’t what it used to be." "If the people don’t want to come out to the ballpark, nobody’s going to stop them." "You’ve got to be very careful if you don’t know where you are going, because you might not get there." "Even Napoleon had his Watergate." "It was impossible to get a conversation going, everybody was talking too much." "It ain’t the heat, it’s the humility."
