WORDS OF WISDOM FROM YOGI

Customer Rating:
I HAVE HEARD YOGI'S "WORDS OF WISDOM" HERE AND THERE FOR WHAT SEEMS LIKE FOREVER. IT'S AWESOME TO FIND THEM ALL GATHERED IN ONE PLACE AND TO LEARN THE CIRCUMSTANCES AND BACKGROUND STORY ON ALL OF THEM. FOR ANYONE THAT HAS EVER WONDERED WHY HE SAID WHAT HE SAID, THIS BOOK IS FANTASTIC!

Yogisms

Customer Rating:
Yogisms are a special kind of aphorism which usually involve a certain surface absurdity , and perhaps grammatical error- a cliche mispoken- but which add up somehow to something funny and wise at the same time.
Hearing that the mayor of Dublin Robert Briscoe was Jewish , Yogi said, "Only in America".
When Mantle and Maris hit back- to - back home runs in their famous duel to hit sixty homers, Yogi said "It's Deja- Vu again"
I somehow thought it was Casey Stengel another aphorist of note, but this book says it's Yogi who said ," It ain't over till it's over".
"If you come to a fork in the road, take it."
"You should always go to other peoples' funerals , otherwise they won't go to yours."
About Yogi himself it might be said " They broke the mold when they made him" Or with a word of apology to Leo the Lip " Nice guys are funny first."

Yogi Berra Book

Customer Rating:
It is a very short book, with classic Yogi Berra saying and descriptions of the events that surrounded these funny phrases being uttered.

A great book that is is short, concise and not long :)

Customer Rating:
This is a must have for Yogi Berra fans or just anybody who appreciates baseball in an older, more pure era. This book contains not only his most famous quotes, but many from his personal life at home as well. The book is short (30 minute read). It is definately well worth reading or at least scanning through.
