Aster1 Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Yogi is a TRUE WIZARD WITH THE WORDS!!! They still, and prolly always, make me laugh out loud. There are soooo many great quotes from folks. Many really sage advice too. Some from so far back and it still applies today as it did when they expounded on it. Aster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis G Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Can't remember the name of the book, but several years ago on vacation (holiday) I had one of his "pool side reads". It was full of the stories behind the "Yogi-ism's" and it was just priceless. He's created some real classic's over the years, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
