3. It ain't over till it''s over.

4. It's like deja vu all over again.

5. No one goes there nowadays, it's too crowded.

6. Baseball is 90% mental and the other half is physical.

7. A nickel ain't worth a dime anymore.

8. Always go to other people's funerals, otherwise they won't come to
yours.

9. We made too many wrong mistakes.

10. Congratulations. I knew the record would stand until it was broken.

11. You better cut the pizza in four pieces because I'm not hungry
enough to eat six.

12. You wouldn't have won if we'd beaten you.

13. I usually take a two-hour nap from one to four.

14. Never answer an anonymous letter.

15. Slump? I ain't in no slump; I just ain't hitting.

16. How can you think and hit at the same time?

17. The future ain't what it used to be.

18. I tell the kids, somebody's gotta win, somebody's gotta lose. Just
don't fight about it. Just try to get better.

to stop them.

21. We have deep depth.

22. Pair up in threes.

23. Why buy good luggage, you only use it when you travel.

24. You've got to be very careful if you don't know where you are going,
because you might not get there.

25. All pitchers are liars or crybabies.

26. Even Napoleon had his Watergate.

27. Bill Dickey is learning me his experience.

28. He hits from both sides of the plate. He's amphibious.

29. It was impossible to get a conversation going, everybody was talking
too much.

30. I can see how he (Sandy Koufax) won twenty-five games. What I don't
understand is how he lost five.

31. I don’t know (if they were men or women fans running naked across
the field). They had bags over their heads.

32. I'm a lucky guy and I'm happy to be with the Yankees. And I want to
thank everyone for making this night necessary.

33. I'm not going to buy my kids an encyclopedia. Let them walk to
school like I did.

34. In baseball, you don't know nothing.

35. I never blame myself when I'm not hitting. I just blame the bat and
if it keeps up, I change bats. After all, if I know it isn't my fault
that I'm not hitting, how can I get mad at myself?

36. I never said most of the things I said.

37. It ainâ't the heat, it's the humility.

38. If you ask me anything I don't know, I'm not going to answer.

parents off the streets.

45. Mickey Mantle was a very good golfer, but we weren't allowed to play
golf during the season; only at spring training.

46. You don't have to swing hard to hit a home run. If you got the
timing, it'll go.

47. I'm lucky. Usually you're dead to get your own museum, but I'm still
alive to see mine.

48. If I didn't make it in baseball, I won't have made it workin'. I
didn't like to work.

49. If the world were perfect, it wouldnâ't be.

50. A lot of guys go, ˜Hey, Yog, say a Yogi-ism." I tell 'em, ˜I don't
know any." They want me to make one up. I don't make 'em up. I don't
even know when I say it. They're the truth. And it is the truth. I don't
know.
