In honor of the great Lawrence Peter ”Yogi” Berra who died Tuesday, we wanted to do a Top 10 List of our favorite quotes by The Great Philosophiser (No that wasn’t a typo). Unfortunately there so many good ones we had to turn it into a Top 25 list. So these are our Top 25 favorite quotes by Yogi.

Number 24-It ain’t the heat, it’s the humility.
Number 23-I never blame myself when I’m not hitting. I just blame the bat and if it keeps up, I change bats. After all, if I know it isn’t my fault that I’m not hitting, how can I get mad at myself?
