Yogi Berra, the Rodney Dangerfield of Baseball. A kind man who worked hard to excel at a game he loved - baseball. Behind all the light hearted banter, he quietly earned 13 World Series rings, more than any other baseball player, living or dead.
Why do I mention this man?
To answer this question, I have to say that RQS and I went into Manhattan to see a documentary about this man's life, called: " It Ain't Over." This documentary gives this great ballplayer his due, and gives the viewer an idea of what this man was all about. It all started because his granddaughter saw 4 baseball players honored as the best living players at one all-star game. Jokingly, she asked her grandfather: "Are You Dead?" And he responded, "I don't think so." It then became her mission to see that her grandfather was given his due.
I won't say much about this movie, save one thing: SEE IT! RQS, who is not a baseball fan, loved it.

After the movie, we stopped at a Halal food cart to get a couple of Chicken and Lamb combos, with some Falafel on the side. Yum! I won't say that it was good as the food cart near where I used to work, nor will I say it is as good as a place in her neighborhood. But I will say that the food was tasty, and worth what we paid for it before returning home for the night....
