Here are a few tidbits on Yogi, Hideki and A-Jack. 

A few weeks ago, Yogi Berra did a media teleconference for the Bob Hope Classic. He spoke about how often he’s still recognized in public:

“A lot of people look at me, they say, `Boy, you look just like Yogi Berra.’ I say, `Yeah, a lot of people tell me that,’” Berra said.

Berra was asked Tuesday if all the strange quotes attributed to him really came out of his mouth.

“They’re mostly mine, they really are true, all of them,” he said.

Yogi Berra talks to the media during a pre-tournament press conference for the 51st Bob Hope Classic golf tournament in La Quinta, California last week. Berra is the ambassador of the tournament.

Hideki Matsui took a visit to a factory of Japanese construction and mining equipment manufacturer Komatsu in Hiratsuka, Japan last week. During his promotional visit, he stated that he likes the idea of games between the World Series and Japan Series champions even though he may be retired by the time something like that takes place. He even did a demonstration with a hybrid backhoe PC200-8 during his visit.
