| Jan. 22, 2009 AlleninGa Men's 60 113 posts | Yogi Berra once said....... I think one of Yogi's statement sums up a lot of the posts being referred to here.............."It's hard to have a converstation; everybody's talking too much"........... Remember, "Baseball(Softball) is 90% mental, the other half is physical".........Yogi Berra |
| Jan. 22, 2009 audieh Men's 60 249 posts | Allen, I like your thinking. On another subject though, isn't it funny when some football player says to the interviewer, "football is 90% mental and 10% physical". It makes me wonder why we don't have more asians and mensa members playing football if that was true. The other phrase that makes me chuckle is when a player will say he gave 110%. Gee, how do you do that? |
| Jan. 22, 2009 DaveDowell Men's 70 4318 posts | One of my all-time favorites, a two-part gem from legendary USC and Tampa Bay Bucs football coach John McKay: At a post-game press conference in 1976 "You guys don't know the difference between a football and a bunch of bananas." The following week after a media member had dropped off a case of bananas at his front door - "You guys don't know the difference between a football and a Mercedez-Benz." |

| Jan. 22, 2009 taits Men's 65 4548 posts | Here's one TH might reference to: Money can't buy you happiness. But it does bring you a more pleasant form of misery. - Spike Milligan Then again.... |
| Jan. 22, 2009 AlleninGa Men's 60 113 posts | Yogi...........again, and in a twisted sense, a good view of the problem............."Slump, I ain't in no slump, I just ain't hittin", ...........Ya' gotta love Yogi !!!!!!! |
| Jan. 22, 2009 tattooball 774 posts | Yogi once said when asked about a local hotspot in nyc, "Nobody goes there anymore, it's to crowded." Boy imagine being Larry and growing up with him as your dad, that had to be priceless. |
| Jan. 22, 2009 jah#4 Men's 70 576 posts | Allen this is one of Yogi quotesI live by You've got to be very careful if you don't know where you're going, because you might not get there." Specially whe RT is driving Don |
| Jan. 22, 2009 BruceinGa Men's 70 3233 posts | Speaking of RT, my favorite RTism is "A hit's a hit." (And no, we're not talkikng softball here.) |
| Jan. 22, 2009 VINNY LV Men's 50 178 posts | no wonder his son Dale went down the wrong road or was that because of the bad Pirate teams he played on ??????????? |
| Jan. 23, 2009 AlleninGa Men's 60 113 posts | Vinny, Yogi warned Dale about the wrong road...............He said " If you don't know where you're going, you might end up somewhere else"...... Bruce, RT does have a way of explaining things , simple, down to earth and to the point.........which is "one" of the reasons I like him. Sometimes people tend to over complicate the "game"........ RT and Yogi........same mold?????? |
| Jan. 23, 2009 jah#4 Men's 70 576 posts | allan If yogi ever played in the Altanta area I would have to think about Rt and Yogi being kin in some way. Rt alway has a Yogism one of RT quotes is 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? |
| Jan. 23, 2009 diehard Men's 55 246 posts | Some of the Yogiism's did rub off on his kids. When Dale was playing ball he was asked by a reporter , " What are some of the similarities between you and your Father," in which Dale replied, " The similarities between me and my Father, are different,". |
| Jan. 23, 2009 the wood Men's 65 1123 posts | Kevin, he was speaking of Toots Shors', as you probably know. When MLB baseball was trying to win back its fan base after one of the first player strikes, Yogi said 'if they don't want to come out, how are you gonna stop 'em'... BW |
| Jan. 23, 2009 three for five Men's 60 6 posts | Yogi, after a game, went to order a pizza. The counter girl asked him if he wanted it cut into six pieces or eight. 'Cut it into eight', he said, "I'm really hungry!" |
