Avram Lebor
Lawrence Peter Berra played Major League Baseball for 19 years for the New York Yankees.
He played on 10 World Series Championship teams, is a MLB Hall of Famer and has some awe-inspiring stats.
His name is consistently brought up as one of the best catchers in baseball history, and he was voted to the Team of the Century in 1999.
Amazing accomplishments aside, they probably aren’t how you know Lawrence.
You know him as Yogi, a nickname given to him by a friend who likened his cross-legged sitting to a yogi.
Yogi is famous for his fractured English, malapropisms and sometimes nonsensical quotes, adds Avram Lebor.
He’s closing in on 86, and there seems to be no end to his fan’s love for him.
Here are 25 Yogi Berra quotes that will make you shake your head and smile.
- “It’s like deja vu all over again.”
- “We made too many wrong mistakes.” – Avram Lebor personal favorite
- “You can observe a lot just by watching.”
- “A nickel ain’t worth a dime anymore.”
- “He hits from both sides of the plate. He’s amphibious.”
- “If the world was perfect, it wouldn’t be.”
- “If you don’t know where you’re going, you might end up some place else.” – Another personal favorite of Avram Lebor
