A friend related a story on Facebook this morning: this friend was at a baseball camp in Houston when Berra was coaching there and Berra came to coach the kids one day. His advice to my friend "you can't hit and think at the same time". 9 words to summarize the importance of developing an intuition. Coincidentally on Sunday I was trying to figure out a word for "yogiism" - "malapropism" comes close but it's not it. I was googling around and ran into a story about Berra. Apparently at age 16 Berra tried out for the St. Louis Cardinals and Branch Rickey (legendary coach of the Cards) told him that he'd never make it in baseball. There's a scholarship at Columbia in his name that he established because he regretted that he dropped out of school in 8th grade and never completed his formal education.
