My main inspiration this morning was Frank DeFord's ode to Yogi Berra on NPR's Morning Edition.
As an Okie kid in the '60s it was basically mandatory that you idolize Mickey Mantle. (As well as astronaut Leroy Gordon Cooper, but that's another ball game.) And indeed, I loved Mickey. But there was something endearing about his funny-looking teammate with the funny name also.
I got to see the Yankees play in 1962. They were up against The Los Angeles Angels, who at the time played at Dodger Stadium. Mickey didn't have a great game that night, but I was thrilled when Yogi hit a home run.
Here's a page of quotes attributed to Yogi. But remember: he never said half the things he said.

MORE NEW MEXICO BLOGGERS
I'm plugging a plug here, but if not for conservative blogger Mario Burgos I wouldn't have known about the new New Mexico Matters blog and would have missed perhaps the very first use of the adjective "Terrellian" in the history of the state's blogosphere.
I do have to take issue with this statement:
Maybe I'm not navigating the blog very well, but I can't seem to find who is responsible for New Mexico Matters. In one early post the blogger describes himself (herself?) as "a non-blogger with a blog."
Well, whoever you are, here's a Terrellian welcome to the Bizarro World of bloggery.
Also, frequent commenter on The New Mexican web site -- and on this blog, Ed Campbell has started a blog of his own called Eidard. It's basically a liberal/progressive blog with a focus on national and international issues. Do check it out.
The New Mexican is offering free reader blogs. Check that out HERE
I do have to take issue with this statement:
Terrell is the kind of guy that's just as interested in the goo goo dolls as he is in politics ...In truth, my beautiful niece Lauren likes The Goo Goo Dolls (or at least she used to), but I've never really been been a fan. (I do like The Rev. Al Green though -- better than I like most politicians -- and Fan Man just announced he's coming to The Santa Fe Opera on Saturday, Sept. 17!)
