Yogi Berra
I was saddened this morning to read of the passing of the great Yogi Berra. Although I am a Cubs' fan Yogi was one of my favorite players when I was growing up.

New Yogi quote from his obit:
Mrs Yogi---When you die, do you want to be buried in St Louis, New York or New Jersey? NB These are the places Yogi lived. Yogi---I dunno. Surprise me. Tom |

Thanks for the memories....

RE: Yogi Berra
Yogi always had a lesson to teach in his own way. I will miss you Yogi, as I now have one less Yankee to heckle.

RE: Yogi Berra
I have never been a Yankee fan. But, there is no way that I could not have appreciated Yogi Berra as a person and as a player. He had both talent and a sense of humor. Since this is a Lincoln forum, you have to wonder how the two of them would have gotten along, if they could have met each other, despite their different centuries.

RE: Yogi Berra
Aside from equestrian sports, I'm not much of a baseball/football/basketball fan, although I played these sports (except football) as a kid -- Yogi was most certainly a part of my childhood - as I used to hear my dad speak of him a lot.....he will be missed!
