You gotta check this clip out.

My favorite Yogi-ism:  "When you come to a fork in the road, take it."

Little known fact*:  Yogi grew up across the street from Joe Garagiola on Elizabeth Avenue in a neighborhood called 'The Hill', St. Louis' version of Little Italy.   That block, also home to Jack Buck early in his Cardinals broadcasting career, was later renamed "Hall of Fame Place".  Garagiola once said, "Not only was I not the best catcher in the Major Leagues, I wasn't even the best catcher on my street!"

*beyond St. Louis, that is.
