“If the world were perfect, it wouldn’t be.” So goes one of Yogi Berra’s Yogi-isms. (You can buy an autographed book of them on his Web site, if you’re so inclined.)

The Yankee legend has filed a $10 million lawsuit against TBS for using his name in a “hurtful” ad showing Kim Cattrall’s “Samantha” character and the line, “Yogasm: a) a type of yo-yo trick b) sex with Yogi Berra c) what Samantha has with a guy from yoga class.”
