| Yogi Berra passed away last night at ninety years of age. A Great Guy that will be missed.........
His colorful, disjointed sayings -- known as Yogisms -- have been quoted by countless politicians and are now fixtures of the American lexicon.
"I really don't know why I say them," he once told CNN. "It just comes out."
Most of his Yogisms are either paradoxical or obviously redundant. But so-called Yogisms weren't always actually uttered by the World Series champion.
"I never said some of the things I said," he once said.
Here are some of his most memorable Yogisms that actually came from the Hall of Famer:
"It ain't over 'til it's over"
"It's deja vu all over again"
"When you come to a fork in the road ... take it"
"I usually take a two hour nap from one to four"
"Never answer an anonymous letter"
"Albert, do you REALLY think you are old enough to know what love is?" "I must be Pa. I love you, I have for a long time." | |

| I'm not really a baseball fan, but I was still sad to hear of this. He was a great man who will be missed. | |
