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.”
• “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.”
