"“It’s so crowded, nobody does there anymore” Yogi"

When you come to the fork in the road, take it. By Yogi Berra, of the New York Yankees.

Lawrence Peter Berra got the nickname Yogi during his teenage years, when he was playing American Legion Baseball. One afternoon, after attending a movie that had a short piece on India, a friend Jack Maguire noticed a resemblance between him and the “yogi”, or person who practiced yoga, on the screen. Maguire said “I’m going to call you Yogi,” and from that moment on, the name stuck.

DID YOU KNOW

THAT YOGI BERRA PROVIDED ANTI-AIRCRAFT COVER AS A GUNNER'S MATE ABOARD A BOAT DURING THE NORMANDY INVASION ON D-DAY?

Obviously I meant “goes” not “does”.

I didn’t know those Yogi stories. Thanks.
