For those who don't understand it, the explanations improvised by Yogi Berra weren't really made by Yogi Berra, but were written by someone else in the style of Yogi Berra, which he should have explained in his comments, even if they were made by someone else.
I did learn something, though, as I had always thought that syncopation was when the beat wasn't on the beat.

TKS, GBK, "sounds" like Pure Yogi, perhaps also a bit like "who's on first" ?? Don
Thanx, Mark, Don

If it was really Yogi, we wouldn't know it. Since we know it, it isn't Yogi.
I couldn't fail to disagree with you less.

I conducted a quick study of 50 authenticated Yogi Berra quotes. I direct compared to the interview and matched 5 quotes repeated verbatim and 2 paraphrased ... it's probably not Yogi but a dome scratch-er nonetheless. Maybe the article would be funnier visualizing a white, orange-billed duck answering the questions? v/r Ken

Yogi didn't really say everything he said.
