Let me just start by saying that Yogi Berra is my all time favorite baseball player, tied with Lou Gehrig.
OK, so these are my personal favorite "Yogisms"
Think! How the hell are you gonna think and hit at the same time?
I never blame myself when I'm not hitting. I just blame the bat and if it keeps up I change bats....
After all, if I know it isn't my fault that I'm not hitting, how can I get mad at myself?
Slump? I ain't in no slump. I just ain't hitting
You give a hundred percent in the first half of the game, and if that isn't enough,
in the second half you give what's left.
I want to thank you all for making this day necessary
(Yogi Berra Appreciation Day in St. Louis 1947)
It ain't over 'til its over.
Eighty percent of putts that fall short don't go in
Most of his home runs were hit on artificial turf
(When asked about why Johnny Bench hit more home runs than he did)
You mean now?
(When he was asked what time it was by a fellow team mate)

He once said.
"It's deja vu all over again"
"I really didn't say everything I said"
"A nickel ain't worth a dime anymore"
"If you come to a fork in the road, take it."
But the funniest has to be this.
On being asked why Johnny Bench hit more homeruns than he did: "Most of his homeruns were hit on artificial turf."

Too many to pick just one...
"It gets late early around here."
"A nickel ain't worth a dime anymore."
"Congratulations on breaking my record. I always thought my record would stand until it was broken."
and of course
"It ain't over till it's over!"

I also liked "When you see a fork in the road, take it". I'm still looking for a chance to literally take that advice.

You should go to other people's funerals or they won't go to yours. I also like his aflac commercial. He says "If you don't have it, that's why you need it. If you get hurt and miss work, it won't hurt to miss work. And they give you cash, which is just as good as money."
