Quotations about Yogi Berra
Yogi is the most relaxed hitter I ever saw or faced. What a guy! In spite of all the great things he’s accomplished over the years, he’s lost none of his humility and none of his niceness. He’s truly one of nature’s noblemen.
Bob Friend
Yogi had the fastest bat I ever saw. he could hit a ball late that was already past him and take it out of the park. The pitchers were afraid of him because he’d hit anything, so they didn’t know what to throw. Yogi had them psyched out, and he wasn’t even trying to psyche them out.

People think Mickey Mantle is the toughest hitter in the league, but I can usually get him out if I don’t make a mistake. The real toughest clutch hitter is Berra. As you change speeds and move around, Berra moves right with you. Rosen does the same thing, but fortunately, he’s playing third behind me, so I don’t have to pitch to him. Believe me, the two best clutch hitters in the game are Berra and Rosen. Most of us pitchers wish to hell they’d switch to golf.

(Yogi reminds me of) the bottom man on an unemployed acrobatic team.
