Yogi Berra quotes and sayings.
No one person has had a bigger influence on the spoken word than Yogi. His quotes are legendary.
Lawrence Peter "Yogi" Berra (May 12, 1925 - September 22, 2015) was an American professional baseball catcher, manager, and coach who played 19 seasons in Major League Baseball (MLB) (1946-63, 1965) (all but the last for the New York Yankees). He was an 18-time All-Star, and won 10 World Series championships as a player-more than any other player in MLB history. Berra had a career batting average of .285, while hitting 358 home runs and 1,430 runs batted in. He is one of only five players to win the American League Most Valuable Player Award three times. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest catchers in baseball history, and was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1972.
Berra was a native of St. Louis, and signed with the Yankees in 1943 before serving in the U.S. Navy in World War II. He made his major-league debut at age 21 in 1946 and was a mainstay in the Yankees' lineup during the team's championship years beginning in 1949 and continuing through 1962. Despite his short stature (he was 5' 7" tall), Berra was a power hitter and strong defensive catcher. He caught Don Larsen's perfect game in Game 5 of the 1956 World Series.
After playing 18 seasons with the Yankees, Berra retired following the 1963 season. He spent the next season as their manager, then joined the New York Mets in 1965 as coach (and briefly a player again). Berra remained with the Mets for the next decade, serving the last four years as their manager. He returned to the Yankees in 1976, coaching them for eight seasons and managing for two, before coaching the Houston Astros. He was one of seven managers to lead both American and National League teams to the World Series. Berra appeared as a player, coach or manager in every one of the 13 World Series that New York baseball teams competed in from 1957 through 1981.[1] In all, he appeared in 21 World Series, 13 on the winning side.
The Yankees retired his uniform number 8 in 1972; in an unusual twist, Bill Dickey also wore number 8, and both catchers had that number retired by the Yankees. The club honored him with a plaque in Monument Park in 1988. Berra was named to the MLB All-Century Team in a vote by fans in 1999. For the remainder of his life, he was closely involved with the Yogi Berra Museum and Learning Center, which he opened on the campus of Montclair State University in 1998.
Berra quit school after the eighth grade. He was known for his malapropisms as well as pithy and paradoxical statements, such as "It ain't over 'til it's over", while speaking to reporters. He once simultaneously denied and confirmed his reputation by stating, "I really didn't say everything I said."
Here are some of his famous and not so famous quotes and wisdom.

" In theory there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice there is." That actually makes a lot of sense.
The future ain't what it used to be. Profound 😁
Love you Yogi: RIP. A great player and a philosopher.
My favorite quote of his was his reply to what time it was: "You mean right now?"
My wife always asks: What time is it now ? I wonder if she'll ever wonder what time it was then.
the most beloved man in sports history..just a wonderfull human being.sports today needs more yogis and less prima donas.
Spring practice on a very hot day in Florida. A beautiful blonde comes up to Yogi just as he emerges from the air-conditioned dugout, and she says, "you are looking mighty cool". Yogi says "You ain't looking too hot yourself"
Rest in Peace Champion.
A great double talker...He makes you think, and then again...JRC.
.
Yogi and Casey Stengel fully understood each other.
No one better, truly a great American................
The only thing that could make this better would be if Mr. Berra were to read the quotes himself. Great job!
RIP Yogi, you will be missed.
When getting a pizza, he's asked
"Do you want that cut into 8 slices?"
Yogi: "Better make it 10, I'm kinda hungry."
Met him a few times here in NJ and our conversations were filled with classic Yogisms...RIP
"It was impossible to get a conversation going. Everybody was talking too much." Sounds like today's political climate, doesn't it? He has a funny way of saying things, but he does know what he's talking about. It just takes us mere mortals a bit to catch up to him.
So funny and wise, like a modern day Confucius. RIP! Respect!

While watching a Steve McQueen movie: He must have made this before he died.

"You can observe a lot just by watching," and "It's not over until it's over" are arguably the two quotes he's best known for. Yogi was asked, "What do you want your tombstone to read?" and Yogi responded, "It's Over!"
He's the closest thing to Shakespeare we got. A few years ago I said something and after I said it I was like, "my god, Yogi could have said that!" It really felt good. He's been a great one all along.
"If I could come up with these sayings just like that[finger snap], I'd be famous."
New york Yankees and Charlotte Hornets and colts are my teams miss grandpa love you
RIP Yogi..😔😔
He is amazing!! I am doing a research project on him!!!
When Casey Stengal was asked why he thought the Yankees would win so often he said, "I always play my man". The only player to play in all the years that Casey manged the Yankees was Yogi Berra. Yogi was Mr. Clutch.
R.I.P. YOGI. My favorite quote. Whan asked if he prefered to have his pizza cut into 4 or 8 slices. Yogi replied....."you better cut the pizza into 4 slices. I'm not hungry enough to eat 8".
