    In July 1973, Berra's Mets trailed the Chicago Cubs by 9½ games in the National League East. The Mets rallied to win the division title on the final day of the season.

    "It's déjà vu all over again." -- Yogi Berra

    Berra explained that this quote originated when he witnessed Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris repeatedly hit back-to-back home runs in the Yankees' seasons in the early 1960s.
    My favorite of his is,
    Nobody eats at that restaurant anymore - it's too crowded.

    Yogi Berra was the original Captain Obvious. 🙂

    If a guy grabs a pawn, and shoves it all the way to the other side of the board, that's going to be a promotion.

    Here's a guy who plays better with an extra Queen.

    If your opponent attacks two of your pieces, ya gotta lose one of 'em. Because you can only move one each turn.

    If the King can't go there, and the King can't go there, and the King can't go there ... then that's checkmate.

    Here's a guy who makes better moves when he thinks longer.

    This is good. 🙂 Sounds exactly like what Madden would say.

    Quoting Yogi Berra for a game like this is also an obvious thing.
