Yogi Berra passed away at the age of 90 on Tuesday. He is among the classiest and most-quoted athletes in sports history. His famous "Yogisms" seem to pop up all the time, though some are perhaps less appreciated.
In Yogi's memory, here are my 10 favorites:
10. "A lot of guys go, 'Hey, Yog, say a Yogi-ism.' I tell 'em, 'I don't know any.' They want me to make one up. I don't make 'em up. I don't even know when I say it. They're the truth. And it is the truth. I don't know."
9. "A nickel ain't worth a dime anymore."
8. "The future ain't what it used to be."
7. "I never said most of the things I said."
6. "Baseball is 90 percent mental and the other half is physical."
5. "You can observe a lot by just watching."
4. "You've got to be very careful if you don't know where you are going, because you might not get there."
3. "When you come to a fork in the road, take it."
2. "It ain't over 'til it's over."
1. "If the world were perfect, it wouldn't be."
RIP, Yogi.
