Yogi Berra, Icon, Baseball Legend, Humorist

        The irrepressible Yogi Berra passed away almost a year ago. Berra was a three-time American League Most Valuable Player; led American League catchers in home runs and RBIs in nine consecutive seasons from 1949 to 1957 and played in 75 World Series games, among other accomplishments. As famous as Berra was for his skills on the baseball field, he was equally known for being quite the philosopher with what has become known as "Yogi-isms". Here is a sample. Many have possible business applications…and all will put a smile on your face. Enjoy…..
