Puzzle Notes
“We made too many wrong mistakes” ~Yogi Berra
Greetings Subscribers,
Recently we attended the commissioning of the USS Cooperstown, a Freedom-class ship named in honor of Baseball Hall-of-Famers who served in the military. As photos of the hall-of-famers flashed across a jumbotron -- I was fixed on Yogi Berra. In addition to his achievements as a ballplayer, Navy man (he earned a Purple Heart), manager and coach -- Berra has provided Yogi-isms that have spiced up crosswords for decades. Prolific and homespun, Berra's observations live on in online compilations such as: "Fifty Greatest Yogi Berra Quotes." It's difficult to fact-check the lists to verify that Yogi actually said all that is attributed to him. Yogi's reponse is: "I never said half the things I said." Home run! Thank you, Yogi, for being a good friend to the crossword.
