#45: White House Turnover

I never blame myself when I’m not hitting.  I just blame the bat and if it keeps up, I change bats.  After all, if I know it isn’t my fault that I’m not hitting, how can I get mad at myself?

I Don’t Know Truth, Either

A lot of guys go, ‘Hey, Yog, say a Yogi-ism.’  I tell ’em, ‘I don’t know any.’  They want me to make one up.  I don’t make ’em up.  I don’t even know when I say it.  They’re the truth.  And it is the truth.  I don’t know.
