15 Funny Yogi Berra Quotes that Make Perfect Sense

Born Lawrence Peter Berra, Yogi Berra was a baseball legend.

One of the greatest catchers in MLB history, Berra was the three times winner of the American League Most Valuable Player Award, won 10 World Championships as a player and boasts another 18 All-Star wins.

Berra was born in a family of Italian immigrants. He loved sports ever since he was a little boy and even though he had to drop out of school to help his family, he still found time to develop his talent as a baseball player.

If you’re wondering about the origins of Berra’s nickname, the famous player was first called “Yogi” by a childhood friend who told him that he sat like an Indian snake charmer after losing a game.

Yogi Berra was also widely known for his malapropisms. His comments on life and baseball, also known as “Yogi-isms”, were published in Bartlett’s Familiar Quotations — the most widely distributed collection of quotes.
