    It's April 1958. The Yankees are playing and intra-squad game in Florida. Yogi Berra is playing first base.
    Mickey Mantle hits a single to left.

    Mantle says: "Hey Yogi, What time is it?" He knows Yogi is wearing a watch when he's not catching.

    Yogi answers: "You mean ...now?"

    I knew him after he left baseball, when he owned a workout place (he called the gym) in North New Jersey, and 30 years after Jackie Robinson was called safe at home when he stole home in a famous World Series game, Yogi would go on and on about the play. "BUT HE WAS OUT." And he get down in a squat, and show everybody (who had already heard the story a hundred times) "He touched my glove but he dint touch the plate."

    I drove by the site, recently. I think it's a WalMart now.

    Several bits of wisdom that are still true.


    "Good pitching will always beat good hitting. And vice versa."
    "You can observe a lot by watching."
    "Always go to other people's funerals. Otherwise they won't go to yours."
    "Predictions are hard. Especially about the future."
