Our Favorite Yogi-isms


From the New York Times:

Yogi Berra, one of baseball’s greatest catchers and characters, who as a player was a mainstay of 10 Yankee championship teams and as a manager led both the Yankees and Mets to the World Series — but who may be more widely known as an ungainly but lovable cultural figure, inspiring a cartoon character and issuing a seemingly limitless supply of unwittingly witty epigrams known as Yogi-isms — died on Tuesday. He was 90.

Here are a few of our favorite Yogi-isms to remember:

  • “It ain’t over till it’s over.”yogi
  • “When you come to a fork in the road, take it.”
  • “It’s déjà vu all over again!”
  • “Nobody goes there anymore. It’s too crowded.”
  • “I can’t think and hit at the same time.”
  • “If you can’t imitate him, don’t copy him.”
  • “Ninety percent of the game is half mental.”
  • “I want to thank everybody for making this day necessary.”
