Yogi Berra passed away last night, but he left us many memorable "Yogi-isms".

Yogi Berra, the baseball legend was one of the greatest catchers in Yankee history. Berra won 10 World Series championships with the Yankees.  Aside from baseball, Berra is well known for his funny quotes.  Here are a few of our favorites.

  • "It gets late early out there." -- Referring to the bad sun conditions in left field at the stadium.
  • "Nobody goes there anymore; it's too crowded." --Referring to a restaurant.
  • "When you come to a fork in the road, take it."
  • "You better cut the pizza in four pieces because I'm not hungry enough to eat six."
  • "Baseball is 90% mental -- the other half is physical."
  • "You should always go to other people's funerals; otherwise, they won't come to yours."
  • "He can run anytime he wants. I'm giving him the red light." --
  • "Yeah, but we're making great time!" -- In reply to "Hey Yogi, I think we're lost."
  • "If you can't imitate him, don't copy him."
  • "He must have made that before he died." -- Referring to a Steve McQueen movie"If you can't imitate him, don't copy him."
  • "Why buy good luggage? You only use it when you travel."
  • "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?"
  • "You've got to be very careful if you don't know where you're going, because you might not get there."
  • "I didn't really say everything I said."
Berra also was featured in a 1987 Miller Light Commercial with Jason Alexander where he, once again made Yogiisms.


There are so many more memorable Yogiisms that will forever stay in history but the phrase "It ain't over till it's over will forever be coined by Yogi Berra .

Yogi Berra will always be remembered along with his witty remarks we call Yogiisms.
