-that may apply in the real life . By the one and only Yogi Berra.

1- "It ain't the heat; it's the humility.

2-"You can observe a lot just by watching."

3-"This is like deja vu all over again.

4-"It was impossible to get a conversation going; everybody was talking too much."

5-"It gets late early out there." -- Referring to the bad sun conditions in left field at the stadium.

6-"I made a wrong mistake"

7-"If the fans don't come out to the ball park, you can't stop them."

8-"If you can't imitate him, don't copy him."

9-"The other teams could make trouble for us if they win"

and my # 10 Yogi quote:

DRUM Roll Please-

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

How about.


"Its over when its over."

Or was it. "Its not over until its over."

When going into a pizza joint one time, Yogi ordered a pizza and the bloke behind counter asked whether Yogi would like the pizza cut into 6 or 8 pieces. To which Yogi replied, "Cut it into 6, I am not feeling very hungry tonight."

Think the qoote was:"You better cut the pizza in four pieces because I'm not hungry enough to eat six."
Forgot to add.
"It was impossible to get a conversation going; everybody was talking too much."

You were right the second time.
Yogi Berra is without a doubt a natioal treasure.

for the re-quote, my memory is going I guess :)

Still Yogi Berra is truly one the most amazing fellas when it comes to these kinds of ridiculous quotes.

He may have been one interesting play-by-play announcer,

but he was an even more prolific home run hitter



Ralph Kiner led the league in home runs the first seven seasons of his career!

Good post. I think Ralph Kiners most famous qupte was-"Home Run Hitters Drive Cadillac's". Kiner was one of his days top and most feared power hitters.

Ragtop- I'm sorry to break into your thread, but it just brings back a lot of memories. (I'm 63)
I got these from the Baseball Almanac

Don't you never read the papers about all them unflocked priests running around? This here priest ain't kosher and never was.


Listen to our world traveler, will ya. Ain't never been past the Chicago stock yards, and now he's a regular Marco Polock


I don't need their whole Dunne and Broadstreet.


Just who the hell are we entertaining here tonight? The Count to Monte Crisco?

The Mets winnin' the pennant, that would be a miracle. Yeah, like the immaculate connection

If you was half as sick as me, you'd be layin' on that floor waitin' for Rigor Morris to set in.


It's a proven fact that capital punishment is a known detergent for crime.


All I'm sayin' is it was unfair to the white ball players who weren't fortunate enough to be born with the same natural endorsements.


All you gotta know is I wouldn't go near her with a 10-foot Polock.


You think he's a nice boy after what he did? Comin' in here, makin' suppository remarks about our country. And callin' me prejudiced while I was singin' "God Bless America," a song written by a well-known and respected Jewish guy. Milton Berle.
