A True Legend

• As a general comment on baseball: "90% of the game is half-mental."
• On why he no longer went to Ruggeri's, a St. Louis restaurant: "Nobody goes there anymore. It's too crowded."
• "It ain't over till it's over." In July 1973, Berra's Mets trailed the Chicago Cubs by 9½ games in the National League East. The Mets rallied to win the division title on the final day of the season.
• When giving directions to Joe Garagiola to his New Jersey home, which was accessible by two routes: "When you come to a fork in the road, take it."
• At Yogi Berra Day at Sportsman Park in St. Louis: "Thank you for making this day necessary."
• "It's déjà vu all over again". Berra explained that this quote originated when he witnessed Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris repeatedly hit back-to-back home runs in the Yankees' seasons in the early 1960s.
• "You can observe a lot by watching."
• "Always go to other people's funerals, otherwise they won't go to yours."
