Yogi’s Words Inspire Me

Yogi Berra, the great Hall of Fame catcher for the New York Yankees has given us many quirky quotes, but last nights wild ending of the game between the Yankees and the Mets was a testament to one of his best, “It ain’t over till it’s over”.

I liked the way A Rod slammed his bat into the dirt thinking he’d popped out to end the game. But the base runners started running as a matter of routine. When the ball was dropped they seized the opportunity and scored.

I think much of life is like that, for the most part pretty routine then suddenly seizing opportunities in unlikely situations. I find that to be very inspiring.

    You better watch yourself, Steven. You are treading on thin ice referencing the dark events of Friday evening.

    Never thought I’d miss Wally Backman so much . . .

    Jamie,
    I admit I am a Yankees fan, but one of the great things about baseball is all the connections that can be drawn about everyday life.

    It is also a humbling game were everything evens out over time. I’m sure the Yankees have lost games as heart breaking as that.

    The point was more about never giving up…

    You might send a reminder to the Mets after today’s drubbing about not giving up!!
