When you come to a fork in the road, take it.
You can observe a lot by just watching.
It ain't over till it's over
It's like déjà vu all over again.
No one goes there nowadays, it’s too crowded.
Baseball is ninety percent mental and the other half is physical.

Too many sayings to remember, always delighted me.

RIP Yogi...

It gets late early out there.

Quite an icon. RIP.

RIP, an amazing gentleman.

A life well lived. RIP.

I had the pleasure of sharing a car ride with him, a true gentleman and every bit as entertaining as one would suspect. Listening to his stories was a treat I will never forget.

RIP sir.

Just heard a quote on the radio from a conversation between him and his wife- she was asking where he wanted to be buried and he said I dunno, surprise me!

Good old Yogi…

What a great guy. When I was hospitalized for months on end as a kid, he was my only baseball hero; he cheered me up like no other.

Rest in peace Yogi; you were truly a class act.

Excellent obit.

Makes me regret that my kids did not grow up with baseball, and baseball legends, the way so many of us did. As a fan of the lackluster Washington Senators, I used to hate the Yankees, who even when losing would rally in the 9th inning to beat us. But Yogi was endearing to everyone.

Randy: What the @#$%& are you talking about?

That was a brilliant obit. A long life, well lived, and he brought joy to millions.

Yogi. Man, I miss him! And the other Yankees of that era. The future ain't what it used to be.

It occurred to me today that pretty much everybody loved Yogi. Even if you hate the Yankees, even if you aren't a baseball fan at all, you probably loved Yogi.

Says a lot about the man. What a well-lived life.

90 years of making the world a better place, can't beat that! RIP Yogi.

That's quite a Boo-Boo.

This is sad news.

I'm not a baseball fan, so was unaware of his actual playing ability.

The Yogi-isms were well known and made me laugh every time. The general feeling was that he wasn't bright enough to make these up, and he had made a remark about making some without realizing it.

Just from the commercials, my only exposure to him "live", he seemed like a decent, regular guy.

It's nice to realize he was so much more, and still just a decent, regular guy.

I am that Masked Man.

All you can do, is all you can do.

There’s trouble — it's time to play the sound of my people.

Your boos mean nothing to me, I've seen what you cheer for.

Insisting on your rights without acknowledging your responsibilities isn’t freedom, it’s adolescence.

I've been to the edge of the map, and there be monsters.

We are a government of laws, not men.

Everybody counts or nobody counts.

When a good man is hurt,
all who would be called good
must suffer with him.

You and I have memories longer than the road that stretches out ahead.

There is no safety for honest men except
by believing all possible evil of evil men.

We don’t do focus groups. They just ensure that you don’t offend anyone, and produce bland inoffensive products. —Sir Jonathan Ive

An armed society is a polite society.
And hope is a lousy defense.

You make me pull, I'll put you down.

I *love* SIGs. It's Glocks I hate.
