Yankee legend Yogi Berra died at 90 years old on Tuesday, Sept. 22, 2015. As a baseball player, he was unparalleled in reaching 14 World Series and winning 10 of them. But perhaps an even greater legacy is his quick-witted quips that have stood the test of time. Here are the best Yogi Berra quotes and how they apply to Richmond.
11. “I never said most of the things I said.”
Yik Yak, in a nutshell.
10. "No one goes there nowadays, it’s too crowded."
Tell me you haven't said this about the library during finals week.
9. “It’s deja vu all over again.”
Every Lodge.
8. “It ain’t the heat, it’s the humility.”
And those lodges are both hot and potentially humiliating.
7. "You can observe a lot by just watching."
D-Hall people watchers know this too well.
6. “A nickel ain’t worth a dime anymore.”
Yogi understood the dining dollar dilemma long before it was even invented.
5. “If the people don’t want to come out to the ballpark, nobody’s going to stop them.”
Football Stadium*
4. “If you don’t know where you are going, you might wind up someplace else.”
"What shuttle are we in?"
3. “The future ain’t what it used to be.”
Miss you, Ayers.
2. "When you come to a fork in the road, take it."
The best of them all. Time waits for no man. Also, the roads by the Robins School get really confusing.
1. “It ain’t over till it’s over.”
I tell myself this about graduating college every day. RIP, Yogi.
