Resume
"It's déjà vu all over again."
"90 percent of the game is half mental."
Let's share a little wisdom from the late, great New York Yankees catcher, Yogi Berra, who died Tuesday at the age of 90. There are so many wonderfully wise and funny maxims that have been attributed to him.
"You can observe a lot just by watching."
"When you come to a fork in the road, take it."
And let's not forget what he said about a popular restaurant: "Nobody goes there any more. It's too crowded."
