Did You Know?!: Words of Wisdom
Sales and Leasing Consultant, Tim Hoyt, is excited to bring you the April edition of "Did You Know?!" This is for all the baseball fans out there...
Baseball season is here! This month, I decided to pay tribute to the great Yogi Berra who passed away last year. Throughout his life he was one of the most quotable people around. Many of his sayings, including the misuse of words, became part of our vernacular.
Stay tuned for next month's edition...
---
Here are a few well known "Yogisms":
"Thank you for making this day necessary"
Yogi Berra day, 1947
"It's deja vu all over again"
After Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris hit back to back home runs
"We made too many wrong mistakes"
After the Yankees lost the 1960 World Series to the Pittsburgh Pirates
"It gets late early out there"
On playing left field at Yankee Stadium in the fall
"Ninety percent of the game is half mental"
Berra claimed to use this phrase often as a coaching tip
"When you come to a fork in the round, take it"
While giving his friend Joe Garagiola directions to his house in New Jersey
"You can observe a lot by watching"
While managing the 1964 Yankees
"Congratulations. I knew the record would stand until it was broken"
Message to Johnny Bench after he broke Berra's home run record by a catcher
"Steve McQueen looks good in this movie. He must have made it before he died"
Conversation with his family while watching McQueen's movie, Papillon
"We have a good time together, even when we're not together"
Responding to a question about his wife, Carmen
"The future ain't what it used to be"
Referring to the changing times
"It ain't over till it's over"
While managing the 1973 New York Mets who were far out of first place
"Always go to other people's funerals; otherwise, they won't go to yours"
During a discussion with Mickey Mantle
"I really didn't say everything I said"
When someone asked him about quotes he previously said
Did you know that I have two favorite "Yogisms"?! They are:
"Nobody goes to that restaurant anymore it's too crowded"
-and-
-and-
"Surprise me"
When his wife Carmen asked if he would rather be buried in St. Louis or New Jersey
My favorite Yogi Berra commercial is the Aflac one. I encourage you to visit YouTube and check it out- it's really funny!
Stay tuned for next month's edition...
