'you Can Observe a Lot Just By Watching'

Yogi Berra, the Greatest Sage
Of Major League Baseball's Golden Age

   Yogi said, "The future ain't what it used to be."
   'Cos when Berra died ~
       ~ They broke the mold and buried the key

A few more 'Yogi-isms' to marvel at:
  . When you come to a fork in the road, take it.
  . I'd give my right arm to be ambidextrous.
  . No matter where you go, there you are.

Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 6/23/2021 6:34:00 PM Yogi was a great baseball player, by the way. People didn't take him too seriously (for obvious reasons), and he was kind of short and plumpy, but wow, could he ever play the game. Revisionist baseball historians are now setting the record straight on this great N.Y. Yankee. :) gw

L Milton Hankins Date: 6/21/2021 8:21:00 PM One of the greatest of baseball. Did you know that Winston Churchill was a great fan of statements that start out in one direction and quickly change to another, i.e. "When you come to a fork in the road, take it"?
