I don’t consider myself to be an over-the-top addicted spots fan but it doesn’t keep me from still loving baseball. For me it is the All-American sport even more so than the NFL or the NBA. Playing baseball gave me some of the best times of my life even though I still have a hard time watching it on television. It’s more fun to actually play than to watch. I’ve followed many players over the years that had fantastic stats but one player in particular just always made me smile. That was Yogi Berra, a man who has been quoted over and over again for decades with his famous brand of humor. Here is a short selection of some of his thoughts and comments that will certainly entertain you.

• “You can observe a lot just by watching.”

• “You’ve got to be very careful if you don’t know where you’re going, because you might not get there.”

• “I knew I was going to take the wrong train, so I left early.”

• “You better cut the pizza in four pieces because I’m not hungry enough to eat six.”

• “A nickel isn’t worth a dime today.”

• “Nobody goes there anymore – it’s too crowded.”

• “You give a hundred percent in the first half the game, and if that isn’t enough, in the second half you give what’s left.”

• “I made a wrong mistake.”

• “Why buy good luggage? You only use it when you travel.”

• “I never blame myself for not hitting. I just blame the bat, and if it keeps up, I change bats. After all, I know it isn’t my fault that I’m not hitting, how can I get mad at myself?”

AND FINALLY

“I didn’t really say everything I said.”
