	The Birdwatch: Happy Birthday!
		Yogi is, of course, also known for his wonderful facility with the English language, which has resulted in some of the most memorable quotes known to baseball, or to collectors of quotations.
		Basically, Yogi's way of expressing himself, while characteristic and amusing, was also very easily imitated, and it's an open secret that many sportswriters weren't beyond making up a few Yogiisms when they wanted to spice up their stories.
		I knew Yogi was from The Hill, and I thought I had heard he tried out for the Cards at one point, but I don't think I knew that part of the story about him turning down the contract due to the fact that it didn't include a signing bonus.

		Yogi Berra once famously remarked (or at least supposedly remarked) when asked about a popular restaurant, "It's so crowded, nobody goes there any more." Like all good Yogiisms, the statement's absurd but closer examination reveals a hidden truth.
		What he could have meant was that is was so crowded that a person with a high value of time or a desire for a more relaxed atmosphere had better alternatives.
		Or to say it more succinctly, "It's so crowded, nobody who's anybody goes there anymore." In fact, Yogi may have meant the opposite—it's so crowded, you have to be somebody to get in—the owners keep out the riff-raff.
