Baseball: West Torrance pays tribute to Yogi

Hanging from a chain-link fence at the West Torrance baseball field is a sign that reads: ‘When you get to the fork in the road, take it.’

Come on, you know who said that, right? Yogi Bear? No, Yogi Berra, who’s as famous for his Hall of Fame career as his legendary malapropisms (a.k.a. Yogi-isms). Here are a few classics...

‘I didn’t really say everything I said.’

‘We have a good time together, even when we’re not together.’

‘A nickel ain’t worth a dime anymore.’

‘Why buy good luggage? You only use it when you travel.’

‘Ninety percent of this game is half mental.’

And perhaps the two most famous Yogi-isms...

‘It ain’t over ‘til it’s over.’

‘It’s like déjà vu all over again.’
