Happy 90th birthday, Yogi: Some of Berra’s best quotes

Baseball hall of famer Yogi Berra, considered by many to be the greatest catcher in history, turns 90 today.

Berra spent 19 seasons with the New York Yankees and finished his career with three most valuable player awards, 15 All-Star game appearances and 12 World Series home runs. He holds the record for most World Series games played with 75.

However, most people remember him for his funny quotes. A few of his best:

“It ain’t over till it’s over.”
