Entry #3 Berra

I'm not saying that all sports figures are dumb. Some are smarter than the average person. However, there are those that I think barely passed high school. Yogi Berra might be one of those people. As a famous baseball player for the New York Yankees, it didn't matter what he said. He was making money. Although no one cared what he said, his words were still published.

You do not have to be a sports person to recognize what he is saying. You just have to know what stupid is. As Forrest Gump would say, "stupid is as stupid does." Yogi Berra is legendary for two reasons in my book. One, for his great baseball plaing ability. The other, for his stupidity.

Yogi's quotes about baseball:

"You can observe a lot just by watching."
"Baseball is 90% mental. The other half is mental."
"Slump? I ain't in no slump. I just ain't hitting."
"You give 100 percent in the first half of a game. If that isn't enough, in the second half, you give what's left."
"I never blame myself when I'm not hitting. I just blame the bat, and if it keeps up, I just change bats. After all, if I know it isn't my fault that I'm not hitting, how can I get mad at myself?"

Yogi's words of wisdom:

"You've gotta be careful if you don't know where you're going, because you might not get there."
"If you can't imitate him, then don't copy him."
"If you come to a fork in the road, take it."
"Why buy good luggage? You only use it when you travel."
"You should always go to other peoples' funerals. Otherwise, they won't come to yours."

Yogi's quotes that made me shake my head:

"He must have made that movie before he died."
"I knew I was going to take the wrong train, so I left early."
"You better cut the pizza into four pieces, because I can't eat six."
"A nickle isn't worth a dime today."
"I take a two hour nap. From 1:00 to 4:00."
"I really didn't say everything I said."
