Here's 3 of my favorites:


"How can I play baseball if I'm stupid? If I was stupid I wouldn't have pitched in the World Series. I'd be playing ball in Mexico or Yugoslavia or on Pluto." - Joaquin Andujar, St. Louis Cardinals

"He hits from both sides of the plate. He's amphibious." - Yogi Berra, New York Yankees

"My goals are to hit .300, score 100 runs, and stay injury-prone." - Mickey Rivers, New York Yankees

"My goals are to hit .300, score 100 runs, and stay injury-prone." - Mickey Rivers, New York Yankees

to stay injury prone......thats what i,m talkin about...

Mick the quick never did score 100 runs. 96 was his high. He should have tried drawing a few walks. Career BA: .295. Career OBP: .327.

A few good Yogi-isms: "Why buy good luggage? You only use it when you travel."
"Always go to your friends funerals or they won't come to yours."
"A home opener is always great, whether it's a home or on the road."

Here's a few:

Phil Rizzuto:
"I'm glad I don't play anymore. I could never learn all those handshakes"

Yogi Berra:
"Baseball is ninety percent mental, the other half is physical."

Casey Stengal:
"I broke in with four hits and the writers promptly decided they had seen the new Ty Cobb. It took me only a few days to correct that impression."

Reggie Jackson:
"The only reason I don't like playing in the World Series is I can't watch myself play"

Rogers Hornsby:
"I don't want to play golf. When I hit a ball, I want somebody else to go chase it."

Dale Berra:
"The only thing my father & I have in common is that our similarities are different."

Pete Rose:
"I'd walk through hell in a gasoline suit to keep playing baseball."

Bobby Murcer:
"Trying to hit him (Phil Niekro) was like trying to eat Jell-O with chopsticks"

Dizzy Dean:
"The doctors x-rayed my head and found nothing."

"That wind must have been blowin' a hundred degrees." - Mickey Rivers.

"Nothing is nothing. Nothing can't be something, because nothing is something that isn't." - Darryl Dawkins.

More Yogi:
"I knew I was going to take the wrong train, so I left early."
"I always thought the record would stand until it was broken."

Still more Yogi:
Yogi is driving to his Hall of Fame induction, but has lost his way to Cooperstown.
Wife Carmen: "Yogi, I think we're lost."
Yogi: "Yeah, we're lost... but we're making good time!"

A friend calls him on the telephone:
"Yogi, did I wake you up?"
"Yeah, but don't worry about it. I had to get up to answer the phone, anyway." :lol:
