Yogi-Isms

As we look back through History Records will attest Some famous quotes by famous folks But I’ll tell you whose are best. He’s a very famous player From Baseballs Hall of Fame Everybody knows him Yogi Berra is his name. His quotes - and there are many Are really quite profound And are used so very often By baseball fans around. When he spoke his “words of wisdom” Humor was not the intent Yogi said just what he thought And knew exactly what he meant! To give you some idea Of quotes that Yogi spoke I’ll tell you just a few of them Remember - they're not jokes! “You can observe a lot by watching” Is one that comes to mind “We made too many wrong mistakes” Is another that I find. “You look real cool” said a Mayors wife When she saw Yogi’s brand new suit. “You don’t look so hot yourself” He replied looking quite astute. "I didn't really say everything I said" "Never answer an anonymous letter" "It ain't over till it's over" Good examples and they don't get any better. Those are things that Yogi said He has his own mystique. Although there's other famous quotes His are quite unique.

Wow! Love the way Yogi expressed himself and it took courage to tell the mayor's wife she wasn't looking "so hot." VERY entertaining write about a true American icon. One for my favorites! Love, Carolyn

Loved the poem and love Yogi-isms. I used to live in New Jersey near Yogi. My kids would often run into him on their way to school in the morning as he picked up his coffee and paper each morning in a little store near our house. In one of his quote books, there is a picture of him in that store.
