Lawrence Peter "Yogi" Berra died Tuesday night. He played catcher for many years with the New York Yankees. I grew up watching him and his fellow Yankees. Met Mickey Mantle once.

Yogi was a phenomenal baseball player, many, many accolades. However, he was also famous for his Yogi-isms. They were hilarious. Some of his famous quotes:
"It ain't over 'til it's over."
"Baseball is ninety percent mental and the other half is physical."
"If you don't know where you are going, you might wind up someplace else."
"In theory there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice there is."
"Little League baseball is a very good thing because it keeps the parents off the streets."
"You wouldn't have won if we'd beaten you."
"Love is the most important thing in the world, but baseball is pretty good, too."
"A nickel ain't worth a dime anymore."
"It was impossible to get a conversation going, everybody was talking too much."
"You better cut the pizza in four pieces because I'm not hungry enough to eat six."
"Even Napoleon had his Watergate."
"I never said most of the things I said."
"If people don't want to come out to the ball park, nobody's gonna stop 'em."
"Slump? I ain't in no slump... I just ain't hitting."
"It ain't the heat, it's the humility."
"When you come to the fork in the road, take it"
"He hits from both sides of the plate. He's amphibious."
"We have deep depth."
"If you can't imitate him, don't copy him."
"It's tough to make predictions, especially about the future."
"You have to give 100 percent in the first half of the game. If that isn't enough, in the second half, you have to give what is left."
