[edit] Yogiisms

Would anyone look here first (for "Yogiisms"?) Otherwise it should be moved to the Yogi Berra page itself, shouldn't it? --User:justfred

an (apocryphal) sign outside the hippy- counterculture Oregon Country Fair shows Jerry Garcia with a line drawn even with the top of his head. It's captioned, "You must be this high to enter." [1] --Ed Poor

Maybe it should be mergered..on the other hand with al, due resopect to Ed Poor, what the heck dos the Jerry Garcia thing have to do with this article? Antonio Cover Girl Martin

It is funny when Yogi says these things. It is scary when President Bush says things like them. Kingturtle 05:14 May 8, 2003 (UTC)

Yeah, bit of a double-standard eh?

There are a lot of quotes official by the Yogi Book, comented by himself, you don't allow in the page. Ok, put a subsection of quotes attributed to him.

[edit] Yogi Bear

Does this article really need to mention *three times* that Yogi Bear was named after him?

Once while playing golf he teared his pants. He was using Yogi Bear undershorts. Well-documented. (Is 'teared' equally well documented?)

[edit] Encyclopedic comment

I received a comment on my User Page concerning "quote lists." The quotes by Berra were authentic, from various books which I have now, and some were from Baseball Digest magazine, circa 1963-64. I'm not sure what you mean by "encyclopedic content," but I will cite the book or Baseball Digest if that's what you wanted...

[edit] RE: Yogi Bear

That old court decision that Berra didn't have any stake in an obvious comic distortion of his name and his persona always seemed misguided. I note that there is now (in 2011) a new Yogi Bear movie that's probably doing big business (maybe not enough to turn a profit, but still more than ther old TV series). Any chance of a new lawsuit? Or did they already come to terms? WHPratt (talk) 05:47, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

[edit] 1977 1978 World Series

How was Berra a world series champion in 1977 and 1978 when he was neither a player or a manager? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.229.137.169 (talk) 01:41, 13 August 2011 (UTC)

From the article: "In 1976, he rejoined the Yankees as a coach."--ShelfSkewed Talk 03:12, 13 August 2011 (UTC)
