"smarter" than the average bear

Guys I couldn't make this up if I tried.

Yogi Berra was apparently one of America's favourite baseball players who, in my opinion, got hit one too many time in the head with the ball or the bat. At the end of this you can feel free to suggest which one.
Here are a few of his quotes...enjoy

1.It ain't over till it's over.
2.This is like deja vu all over again.
3.You better cut the pizza in four pieces because I'm not hungry enough to eat six.
4.When you come to a fork in the road, take it.
5.The future ain't what it used to be.
6.A nickel ain't worth a dime anymore.
7.It's tough to make predictions, especially about the future.
8.I knew I was going to take the wrong train, so I left early.
9.Baseball is ninety percent mental. The other half is physical.
10.Nobody goes there anymore because it's too crowded.
11.I don't know (if they were men or women fans running naked across the field). They had bags
over their heads.
12.You've got to be very careful if you don't know where you are going because you might not
get there.
13.I don't want to make the wrong mistake.
14.If people don't want to come out to the ballpark, how are you going to stop them?
15.In theory there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice there is.
16.Interviewer - "Why, you're a fatalist !"
Yogi Berra - "You mean I save postage stamps? Not me."
17.Little League baseball is a very good thing because it keeps the parents off the streets.
18.Mrs. Lindsay - "You certainly look cool."
Yogi Berra - "Thanks, you don't look so hot yourself."
19.I'm not going to buy my kids an encyclopedia. Let them walk to school like I did.
20."That ain't the way to spell my name."--After he got a check that read 'Pay to bearer'.
21.How can you hit and think at the same time?
22.You can observe a lot just by watchin'
23.Always go to other people's funerals; otherwise, they won't go to yours.
24.Never answer an anonymous letter.
25.We made too many wrong mistakes.
26.When asked what time it is: "Do you mean now?"
27.For a spring training drill, Yogi instructed his players to: "Pair off in threes."
28.Reporter: "What would you do if you found a million dollars?"
Yogi: "If the guy was poor, I'd give it back."
29.I usually take a two hour nap from one to four.
30.You give 100% in the first half of the game, and if that isn't enough, in the second half you
give what's left.
31.I never said most of the things I said.

Hope y'all had fun

  • Well at least he was great in his own right. He made it doing what he loved. how many of us with more CS can claim that? Maybe he drank too much when not playing.
