Baseball's unique jargon lends itself to colorful sayings

Lawrence "Yogi" Berra

It’s déjà vu all over again. 

 

Ninety percent of the game is half mental.

 

Little League baseball is a very good thing because it keeps the parents off the streets.  

 

How can you hit and think at the same time. 

 

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

 

Nobody goes there anymore; it's too crowded.

It ain't over till it's over.

Age is a question of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it don't matter.

How old would you be if you didn't  know how old you are?

Avoid running at all times.

Don't look back. Something might be gaining on you.

If I had played my career hitting singles like Pete Rose, I'd wear a dress.

The only rule I got is if you slide, get up.

The other day they asked me about mandatory drug testing. I said I believed in drug testing a long time ago. All through the sixties I tested everything.

There's nothing in the world like the fatalism of the Red Sox fans, which has been bred into them for generations by that little green ballpark, and the wall, and by a team that keeps trying to win by hitting everything out of sight and just out-bombarding everyone else in the league. All this makes Boston fans a little crazy and I'm sorry for them.

All right everyone, line up alphabetically according to your height.

 Good pitching will always stop good hitting and vice-versa.

The key to being a good manager is keeping the people who hate me away from those who are still undecided.

I was such a dangerous hitter I even got intentional walks during batting practice.
