<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Yes he was at Normandy in WWII ... lot of guys go, ‘Hey, Yog, say a Yogi-ism.’ I tell ’em, ‘I don’t know any.’ They want me to make one up. I don’t make ’em up. I don’t even know when I say it. They’re the truth. And it is the truth. I don’t know

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Always go to other people’s funerals, otherwise they won’t come to yours. Yogi doesn't have to worry New York will give Yogi a great send off
