Yogi Berra had barely found his feet as a New York Yankees baseball player when he enlisted with the Navy and fought in World War II, but on his return he joined the Newark Bears; a move that heralded the start of a long and illustrious career in the sport. As a member of The Yankees, he appeared in 14 World Series (winning 10), and was hailed as one of the greatest catchers in the history of the sport, before continuing his career as a manager and coach.
But apart from his sporting achievements, Yogi had another skill; that of mixing expressions together until they made no sense, and yet did. Named ‘Berra-isms’ or ‘Yogi-isms’, these amusing sayings won their way into people’s hearts and minds, and many of them are still spoken and remembered today.
