RIP Yogi Berra. Berra died of natural causes during his sleep at an assisted living facility in West Caldwell, New Jersey on September 22, 2015 at the age of 90.
Berra died on the same day of his Major League Baseball (MLB) debut 69 years earlier.
We will never forget all of the Yogisms. Here are some of my favorite Yogi Berra quotes:
When you come to a fork in the road, take it.
You can observe a lot by just watching.
It ain’t over till it’s over
It’s like déjà vu all over again.
Baseball is ninety percent mental and the other half is physical.
A nickel ain’t worth a dime anymore.
Always go to other people’s funerals, otherwise they won’t come to yours.
It’s hard to make predictions, especially about the future.
Congratulations. I knew the record would stand until it was broken.
You better cut the pizza in four pieces because I’m not hungry enough to eat six.
If you don’t know where you are going, you might wind up someplace else.
I never said most of the things I said.
You wouldn’t have won if we’d beaten you.
Little League baseball is a very good thing because it keeps the parents off the streets.
Nobody goes there anymore. It’s too crowded.
He hits from both sides of the plate. He’s amphibious.
It was impossible to get a conversation going, everybody was talking too much.
It ain’t the heat, it’s the humility.
I’m not going to buy my kids an encyclopedia. Let them walk to school like I did.
The towels were so thick there I could hardly close my suitcase.
