Yogi Berra R.I.P. Here are some of his great quotes. On his approach to at-bats: "You can't think and hit at the same time." On selecting a restaurant: "Nobody goes there anymore. It's too crowded." On economics: "A nickel ain't worth a dime anymore." On the 1973 Mets: "We were overwhelming underdogs." On how events sometimes seem to repeat themselves "It's deja vu all over again!" On baseball attendance: "If people don't come to the ballpark, how are you gonna stop them?" On a slipping batting average: "Slump? I ain't in no slump. ... I just ain't hitting." On travel directions: "When you come to a fork in the road take it." On pregame rest: "I usually take a two-hour nap from 1 to 4." On battling the shadows in left field at Yankee Stadium: "It gets late early out there." On fan mail: "Never answer an anonymous letter." On being told he looked cool: "You don't look so hot yourself." On being asked what time it was: "You mean now?" On being given a day in his honor: "Thank you for making this day necessary." On a spring training drill: "Pair off in threes." On his approach to playing baseball: "Baseball is 90 percent mental. The other half is physical." On death: "Always go to other people's funerals. Otherwise they won't go to yours." On learning: "You can observe a lot by watching." On his team's diminishing pennant chances: "It ain't over 'till it's over." On the fractured syntax attributed to him: "I really didn't say everything I said."
