When Yogi returned home from Italy, Cardinal Spellman asked him if he had an audience with the Pope. Yogi said "No but I saw him." Then he was asked what he said to His Holiness. Yogi couldn't remember exactly, but he said he said, "Hello Yogi," and Yogi responded, "Hello, Pope."
Yogi had a gorgeous wife, 'Carm'. Somebody asked him something about that beautiful wife. Yogi says, 'We have a good time together, even when we're not together." |

Believe it or no, and I do, there's been rigorous study of Yogi's intellectuo/linguistic endowment. Nobody seems to be able to figure it out but the consensus so far is that his functioning in both capacities was superior.
"You can't hit and think at the same time." This conclusion was rendered upon him when his manager with the Newark Bears in AAA in 1946 told him, "Yogi next time you're up, think about what you're doing." He then struck out in three pitches that were way out of the strike zone. |

Yogi was always right, that is why those sayings hand around.
For example, you can't hit and think at the same time, which is true.
