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."
