People say Yogi (Berra) is a strange guy, and I've heard Yogi say some funny things. But he has a beautiful wife, he's rich, and he's famous. I don't see anything strange about that.

Mickey Mantle

He'd (Yogi Berra) fall in a sewer and come up with a gold watch.

Casey Stengel

You could draw certain parallels between the structure of the Pompidou and the structure of the rocket-launching facilities at Cape Canaveral. They might not have been thinking about it, but I think there is some kind of unconscious affinity there.

Kenneth Frampton

Yogi Berra put it best, "If people don't want to come, we can't stop them."

W. P. Kinsella

Don Baylor, New York Yankees DH, on Billy Martin and his predecessor Yogi Berra: Playing for Yogi is like playing for your father; playing for Billy is like playing for your father-in-law.

Bobby Hull

Talking to Yogi Berra about baseball is like talking to Homer about the Gods.

A. Bartlett Giamatti

To me, getting a chance to meet Yogi Berra and knowing how long he played and what he accomplished... I'm a huge fan of it. I'm just as enthralled as anybody else. Maybe a little bit more, because I understand the difficulty of what he accomplished.

Buster Posey

I've done performances in movies that I was immensely proud of and the movies didn't take off like a rocket at Cape Canaveral, it didn't take off.

Albert Brooks

'Yogi Bear' changed my life in ways that I can't explain because it's not a full feature on me. 'Yogi Bear' - there's everything before 'Yogi Bear,' and there's everything after 'Yogi Bear.' Like a major car accident, or the birth of Christ.

T. J. Miller
