Why don't scientists trust atoms?

Lawrence Peter "Yogi" Berra was known as much for his wit as for his Hall of Fame baseball talents. His "yogi-isms" are some of the most well-known quotes around, even if you didn't know they came from Yogi.
But witty quotes are not the only thing worth remembering about Yogi Berra. At only 5'8" tall, he was none the less a giant of a man. Yogi left school after 8th grade to help provide for his family, who was barely living above the poverty level. Later in life, he served his country bravely in World War and was part of the D-Day invasion of France.

When it comes to the game of baseball, Yogi is on the shortlist of lifetime achievements. A three-time MVP, he was perhaps the most dangerous lifetime .285 hitter in baseball history, playing in 75 World Series games with a base hit in an amazing 71 of them. As a manager, he took both the New York Yankees and New York Mets to the World Series. But aside from all of Berra's accomplishments on and off the baseball diamond, he may be best known for some of the greatest quotes in American lexicon.

While there are many, here our Top 20 Yogisms:​

  1. "When you come to a fork in the road.... take it."
  2. "You can observe a lot by just watching."
  3. "It ain't over till it's over."
  4. "We made too many wrong mistakes."
  5. "No one goes there nowadays, it’s too crowded."
