Yogi Berra Quotes
From the kids on the neighborhood Stag Athletic Club baseball team on the Hill. We went to a movie one afternoon, and there was one of those yogi characters in the picture. Coming out of the joint, one of the kids looked at me, started laughing, and said: 'Hey, Berra walks just like that yogi in the movie.' I've been Yogi ever since.
