Happy Birthday Yogi!

You were my boyhood baseball idol. The only position I ever wanted to play was catcher and I only wore #8 from Little League through High School.

Probably America's greatest living philosopher. My personal favorite:

In theory there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice there is.

That's just...perfect...

Conversation with the mayor’s wife:

“Yogi, you look cool.”

“Thanks, ma’am. You don’t look so hot yourself.”
