The "This is not fair poster" attributes the "Half this game is ninety
percent mental" quote to Danny Ozark. I could swear is was YogiBerra-ese.
I seem to recall Yogi saying something akin to that. Whatever, it's a
good quote nonetheless.Right up there with other "Yogi-isms": "A nickel isn't worth a dime
today" and "You can observe a lot just by watching."
Just a brief update on Yogi Berrra, He was in St. Louis this weekend to
attend with Joe Gragiolia and the family of Jack Buck the renaming of the block
they all three grew up on here as "Hall Of Fame Place." What a gracious
unassuming guy. I work part time at the ball park and get to see a lot of celebrities
up close. Yogi is the real deal, class personified. It's also great to see him
in good health, recognized and making a few bucks late in life. He is so
unlike some of the current players with their big contacts and big egos.
