No matter which country you are from, sports quotes are a part of the local lore. We trade them, we repeat them, we use them as inspiration for business. Most of all, we gain wisdom and good cheer from them.
These athletes entertain us as often off the field as they do on the pitch or court.
Here are a couple of sayings from one of the most quotable atheletes of all time, Yogi Berra. Berra was an all-star catcher for the New York Yankees, who made it to the Hall of Fame for his baseball skills, not his famous witticsms. Should they ever add a "Witty Sayings" section to the Hall, Berra is a shoe-in to be voted in a second time.
This is like deja vu all over

You can observe a lot by just watching
Baseball is 90% mental - the other half is physical
Lawrence Peter "Yogi" Berra

THE PLAYER
There is a baseball player that is weird
He was awkward and was very feared
One day he finally got a fan
And he was happy and he left through the stands …
Basketball
There once was a man named Jo
he was a basketball pro
one day he got hit by Lebron James
now he cant play in basketball games
