Yougisms:
As depley mentioned, "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!"
"You can observe a lot by watching"

Sad, sad day. He was my granddaddy's favorite player. An baseball icon if there ever was one.

If you come to a fork in the road, take it.
 
My dad always says that Yogi was by far the best bad ball hitter he ever saw.

There's a really good reminiscence of Yogi in Joe Garagiola's autobiography. He grew up in the same neighborhood as Yogi, and every time the neighborhood kids picked teams, regardless of the sport, "Larry" was always the first chosen, even though he was often the smallest kid out there.

Here's a list of some of his best quotes published in today's New York Post.

3-time MVP, which a lot of people tend to forget about. Contact/Ball-in-Play guy. Struck out only 414 times in 8,359 career regular season plate appearances. Walked 704 times. In his entire career, he struck out more than he walked only twice (his last two seasons in part-time duty including his 9 ABs in 1965 with the Mets). All this while still hitting 358 HRs (short porch probably helped a bit). Classic throwback player in a lot of ways and a reminder of how the game has changed a lot.
 
Man, I think all fans can come together in mourning. Just sad to see him go. Yogi was absolutely one of the best ever. RIP Berra.
 
Agreed this is the greatest Yogi quote of them all time:

"If you come to a fork in the road, take it."

RIP We have lost an icon

Apparently, those were directions to his house. And both sides of the fork did lead to his house. Not all forks diverge.
 
From Michael Kay, the longtime New York Yankees play-by-play man: "When Phil Rizzuto became ill toward the end of his life, he was put in an assisted living facility, which was about 30 minutes away from where Yogi lived. And every single day, because teammates were important to him, he would drive there, and he would play cards with Phil. And then when Phil would start to fall asleep, Yogi would hold his hand and when Phil would finally go to sleep, that’s when Yogi would leave. Every day. That’s what teammates meant to him."
