Subject: Yogi is 80 Today!!!

Here are some of his famous and oft-repeated Yogi-isms:

"It ain't over 'til it's over."

"Never answer an anonymous letter."

"I usually take a two-hour nap from one to four."

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

"I didn't really say everything I said."

"You can observe a lot by watching."

"You mean now?" (In response to being asked what time it was).

"The future ain't what it used to be."

"It gets late early out there."

"Nobody goes there anymore; it's too crowded."

"So I'm ugly. So what? I never saw anyone hit with his face."

"Baseball is 90 percent mental. The other half is physical."

"We just agree differently." (On his clashes with Yankees owner George Steinbrenner when Berra managed the team).

"Thanks. You don't look so hot yourself." (In response to New York Mayor John Lindsay's wife complimenting him on appearing cool on a sweltering afternoon.)

Do you even remember him playing baseball? You guys are probably too young! Those were the good old days, Mickey, Roger, Yogi, Whitey, etc.

ropkins - Do you even remember him playing baseball? You guys are probably too young! Those were the good old days, Mickey, Roger, Yogi, Whitey, etc.


My first baseball game: Afternoon game at Yankee Stadium... Yogi had the day off and Elston Howard was catching... I remember Whitey pitching and Mickey hitting a homerun (although that might be my five year old mind thinking wishfully)... they played against Harmon Killebrew and the Twins ( we use to call him Harm and Killaball)...sat behind homeplate with my old man... Tony Kubek at short, Joe 'kiss em on the hand' Pepitone at first, and of course the great Roger Marris in the outfield... Baseball Heaven

He was my hero when I was a kid.  Whatever happened to his sidekick Booboo?
