I posted this in Other Sports but meant to post it the baseball thread. If I violated a rule I'm sorry. I know the old timers will get a chuckle out Yogi's one liner's and who knows the young bucks may as well.

Enjoy

Lawrence  Peter Berra  played Major League Baseball for 19 years for the New  York  Yankees.
He  played on 10 World Series  Championship teams, is a MLB Hall of Famer  and has some awe-inspiring  stats.
His  name is consistently brought  up as one of the best catchers in  baseball history, and he was voted to  the Team of the Century in  1999.
Amazing  accomplishments aside,  they probably aren't how you know  Lawrence.
You  know him as Yogi, a nickname  given to him by a friend who likened  his cross-legged sitting to a  yogi.
Yogi  is famous for his fractured  English, malapropisms and sometimes  nonsensical quotes.
He's  closing in on 86, and there  seems to be no end to his fan's love for  him.
Here  are 25 Yogi Berra quotes that  will make you shake your head and  smile.

21.  As a general comment on  baseball: "90% of the game is  half mental."
22. "I  don't know (if they were  men or women running naked across the  field).
They  had bags over their  heads."
23.  "It gets late early out  there."
24.  Carmen Berra, Yogi's wife  asked: "Yogi, you are from St. Louis, we  live in New Jersey, and you  played ball in New York. If you go  before I do, where would you like me to  have you buried?" Yogi's  answer: "Surprise me."
25.  "It ain't over till it's  over."
