story 1
Yogi, who lived in NJ, use to stop by a pizza joint just across the GW Bridge after every Yankee night game and pick up a '16 inch pizza.
On one such night, Yogi ordered his regular pizza but instructed the owner to cut the pizza in 4 slices instead of the usual 8.....because said Yogi,' I don't think I'm hungry enough to eat 8 slices tonight'
story 2
A friend of Yogi's was picking Berra up at his NJ house to drive to a function in Washington DC. The friend arrived early in morning-it was going to be a long drive.
The friend noticed as he walked up to the house that the entire lawn was wet and the plants were dripping. When Yogi came to the door, the friend said:
"Yogi, don't use know there's a drought here in NJ and a moratorium on watering your lawn?"
Yogi responded: "I didn't water the lawn, it comes on automatically!
story 3
Yankee Manager Casey Stengel is sitting in his office next to the locker room making out his lineup card. Its getting late, everyone is already on the field & the game is about to start. But Casey can't decide whether to start Hank Bauer or Gene Woodling in left field.
Finally, Casey makes his choice for LF and starts towards the field to present the lineup card.
As Stengel heads through the empty Yankees locker room he hears water running in the showers. He stops; annoyed; assuming that someone left the water on.
Casey decided to check it out. When Casey gets to the showers he is startled to see Yogi, alone- taking a shower.
Casey screams at Berra: " Yogi, what to do think you're doing? The game is starting in a few minutes and your in the starting lineup! Why are you taking a shower NOW?"
Yogi looks up at his manager and calmly responds: "It's too crowded in here after the game"
Happy birthday Yogi!!
