因为我不看棒球，所以一直不清楚 Yogi Berra 是何许人也，但是听过的 Yogi Berra 妙语太多了，忍不住查了下 wiki，发现原来还有个 wikiquotes，真好玩。拿来分享一下， Yogi 俏皮话在美国流传度之广，可比莎士比亚发明的话：

http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Yogi_Berra

* As a general comment on baseball: "90% of the game is half mental."
* On why he no longer went to Ruggeri's, a St. Louis restaurant: "Nobody goes there anymore. It's too crowded."
* "It ain't over till it's over." In July 1973, when Berra's Mets trailed the Chicago Cubs by 9½ games in the National League East; the Mets rallied to win the division title on the penultimate day of the season.
*When giving directions to Joe Garagiola to his New Jersey home, which is accessible by two routes: "When you come to a fork in the road, take it."
* "It's déjà vu all over again". Berra explained that this quote originated when he witnessed Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris repeatedly hit back to back home runs in the Yankees' seasons in the early 1960s.
* "Always go to other people's funerals, otherwise they won't go to yours."

Here is my favorate. When someone asked him about the difference between theory and practice.
He said "In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is."

yogi是ny yankees 40-60年代王朝的catcher，后来也做过教练，是mlb冠军戒指最多的人。

他的aflac广告也是我的大爱

If you get hurt and miss work, it won't hurt to miss work
they give you cash which is just as good as money

另外一句我印象深刻的，是yankees每年有一天old times day，已经退役的老球员们重聚，打一场表演赛，最后会在球场大屏幕放过去一年去世的棒球人名单。
某一年yogi看着屏幕对队友说“"I wish I'll never see my name up there." ……
