I want to say something light, given some of his funny statements, but I don't want to sound insensitive.

(40,416 posts)RIP, Yogi. One of the greats. And one who always spoke the unvarnished truth.
Some sage advice from the great Yogi Berra.
You can observe a lot by just watching.
If you come to a fork in the road, take it.
Baseball is 90% mental -- the other half is physical.
The future ain't what it used to be.
A nickel ain't worth a dime anymore.
If people don't want to come out to the ballpark, how are you going to stop them?
Nobody goes there anymore because it's too crowded.
And one last one, to honor his wisdom:
You should always go to other people's funerals; otherwise, they won't come to yours.
RIP Yogi!

Yogi was the one who coined the phrase, "It ain't over 'till it's over."

(12,471 posts)He could hit a ball that bounced on the ground in front of home plate. He was also a great catcher and manager.
He was also one of the most genuine people.
RIP Yogi.

I still watch a lot of baseball today and even thou the times have changed, no player today can say that they play the game for love and not the money. Yogi, Lou, Joe, Mickey, and so many others, played the game with heart and when the country need them to fight for our freedom, most of them went off to defend this country. And if they were not able to go, they help out any way they could. If you did not go to the game, you listened to the game on the radio. The was no TV, no call in show to scream at the team for losing, unlike today where there is so much "Hey look at me" players making millions of $'s and a few of them doing things that are not legit in that makes baseball a bitter sport. I was not born when these men played, but learned so much from hearing their stories. We say goodbye to one of the greatest and of one the classiest men to have dawned a baseball uniform. RIP Yogi!
