Yogi Berra quotes

quotes from Yogi Berra,
The Grand Master of the Malaprop:

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

"You know, a nickel isn't worth a dime any more." (To the economist Milton Friedman.)

"What paper do you write for?" (Upon being introduced to Ernest Hemingway.)

"Thank you for making this day necessary." (To the fans, on Yogi Berra Day.)

"You can't hit and think at the same time."

"Half this game, is 90 percent mental."

when his teams lost: "We made too many wrong mistakes."
or: "We were overwhelming underdogs."

"We may be lost but we're making good time."

Years later, Yogi was being interviewed on radio, part of a campaign to promote his memoirs, Yogi: It Ain't Over. He struggled so obviously that during a commercial break the interviewer asked: "Yogi, have you actually read this?"

Yogi blithely replied: "Why should I? I was there."

"It ain't over till it's over, but when it's over, it's over."

Bill Lyon, "As catcher and phrasemaker, Yogi Berra has had no equal"
