Longtime New York sports writer Phil Pepe dies at 80
   
NEW YORK (Phil Pepe, a revered baseball writer who spent more than five decades chronicling sports in New York, has died. He was 80.
   
Pepe died Sunday of an apparent heart attack at his home in Englewood, New Jersey, his son, David, told The Associated Press.
   
A longtime New York Yankees beat writer who covered Hall of Fame stars from Mickey Mantle to Reggie Jackson, Pepe also authored dozens of books on some of the biggest names in sports.
   
Pepe joined the Yankees beat in 1961 with the New York World Telegram & Sun and assumed that role with the New York Daily News from 1968-81.
   
After leaving the beat, he began churning out sports books at a vigorous pace. He wrote nearly 50 of them, including co-authoring Mantle's autobiography "My Favorite Summer: 1956", which rose to No. 7 on the New York Times bestseller list.

BBH Baseball Board / Yogiisms...

I dunno where these came from, I found them on an old partition from an old hard drive on an oldm computer. If these are from someone here, thank you so much, I still smile at these simple yet 'profound' wisdoms.

This quotation is undoubtedly the best-known Yogiism. However, what he really said was You're never out of it 'til you're out of it in regard to the 1973 National League pennant race.

I want to thank you for making this day necessary.
This was said at Yogi Berra Day in St Louis in 1947. It is supposed to be the first Yogiism. By his account, he asked teammate Dr. Bobby Brown to write a short speech, and he misspoke, replacing the word 'possible' with 'necessary'.

It's like d
