Well-known for his colorful language and expressions, Yankees catcher Yogi Berra had a number of oft-repeated platitudes.  "Nobody goes there anymore; it's too crowded," and "Ninety per cent of this game is half mental" are two of the better-known, but during his lifetime it got to the point where Yogi "Didn't say half the things I said."

One expression, however, is legendary, mostly because it's true.  "It ain't over til it's over" was the pearl of wisdom that, as sports fans, we've come to understand as indisputable fact.  Yogi handwrite that expression under his signature on the sweet spot of this beautifully clean Rawlings OAL (Budig) baseball, in blue ballpoint.  The signature and the inscription are bold and clean, with superb contrast against the white leather.  A wonderful baseball, perhaps the most desirable Berra ball we can imagine.  Full LOA from James Spence Authentication.
