Not sure if there is a player who represents the Yankee history better than Yogi.

Yogi Berra quotes:

It was impossible to get a conversation started because everyone was talking.

Little league baseball is a very good things because it keeps parents off the streets.

You can observe a lot just by watching.

You wouldn't have won if we would have beaten you.

It ain't over till it's over.

Even Napoleon had his Watergate.

We made way to many wrong mistakes.

In theory there is no difference between practice and theory. In practice there is.

Congratulations, I knew the record would stand until it is broken.

he hits from both sides of the plate. He is amphibious.

Nobody goes there anymore, it is to crowded.

I am a lifelong Red Sox fan but I too am saddened by the passing of a true baseball legend. He even inspired a cartoon bear.

You wlll be missed Lawrence Peter Berra.

It doesn't seem like that long ago that I watched Yankee games on a 12" RCA B&W TV. The main shot was from a camera up in the press box behind home plate so all you could see was the pitcher and the backs of the batter and umpire and #8 squatting behind the plate. RIP.

RIP Yogi. I was shocked when I heard he passed but he lived a hell of a life. You got to be doing something to live to be 90 years old. Not only that, more importantly, he was a War Hero. He was there for D-Day.

One of the real good guys of baseball. That old guard is slipping away. Dimaggio, Mantle, Rizzuto and now Yogi.

Yep, the world has lost a bit of light with Yogi's passing, but let's all fill our glasses (with YooHoo) and toast to a champion!
