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.

My dad always idolized Yogi. Thanks for this wonderful tribute.

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

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"?

I didn't know that about Winston Churchill, Milt. Thanks for the info! ~ The Mick, Whitey, and Yogi
