Gosh those were real baseball players who played for the love of the game not the love of money. I remember Tony Kubeck. On saturday morning get do my chores and watch
Tarzan on TV and couple cartoons and then Mel Allen with this week in Baseball. After that, here come the Yankees usually every Saturday on TV. RTR!

Title: Re: RIP Yogi Berra Post by: Chechem on September 24, 2015, 05:52:07 AM "Be sure to go to other people's funerals, or else they won't come to yours." :lol2: Yes, certainly the most appropriate quote I heard yesterday. I think it was NBC news that used it. Another favorite: "Hey, Yogi, let's go to Coney Island." "Naw, nobody goes there any more; too crowded." :lol2: Title: Re: RIP Yogi Berra Post by: 2Stater on September 24, 2015, 06:17:34 AM I loved Yogi. He was one of my all-time favorite players when I was a kid.
I loved this one: Quote Yoo-Hoo chocolate drink. Asked if Yoo-Hoo was hyphenated, he is said to have replied, “No, ma’am, it isn’t even carbonated. Title: Re: RIP Yogi Berra Post by: Chechem on September 24, 2015, 06:37:22 AM “He hits from both sides of the plate. He’s amphibious.”
Title: Re: RIP Yogi Berra Post by: Chechem on September 24, 2015, 06:39:57 AM Maybe his gravestone should say:
Here Lies Yogi Berra “Half the lies they tell about me aren’t true.” Title: Re: RIP Yogi Berra Post by: Old Tider on September 24, 2015, 10:53:21 AM "It's tough to make predictions, especially about the future."
Title: Re: RIP Yogi Berra Post by: Chechem on September 24, 2015, 01:45:51 PM “I usually take a two-hour nap from one to four.”
“Never answer an anonymous letter.” “I’m not going to buy my kids an encyclopedia. Let them walk to school like I did.” “You can observe a lot by watching.” Title: Re: RIP Yogi Berra Post by: cbbama99 on September 24, 2015, 04:48:24 PM "When you come to a fork in the road, take it"

Title: Re: RIP Yogi Berra Post by: Old Tider on September 29, 2015, 06:28:37 PM More Yogi-isms from the latest Time magazine:
"It's deja vu all over again." "Baseball is 90% mental. The other half is physical." "We made too many wrong mistakes." "A nickel ain't worth a dime anymore." "It gets late early out here." "The future ain't what it used to be." "It ain't over till it's over." "I really didn't say everything I said." Title: Re: RIP Yogi Berra Post by: Chechem on September 30, 2015, 06:08:49 AM When my son was young I took his class on an overnight stay at Crow's Neck Environmental Education Center (Tishomingo, MS). The kids were wild late into the night, and none of us slept well. Next morning one of them gave a Yogi Berra-type summary:
"It takes a long time to spend the night here." Indeed! :-\ Title: Re: RIP Yogi Berra Post by: SUPERCOACH on September 30, 2015, 03:14:01 PM When my son was young I took his class on an overnight stay at Crow's Neck Environmental Education Center (Tishomingo, MS).
