Yogi Berra Quotes
In Cryptography teasers, a phrase or expressions has been encoded in some way (frequently by replacing letters with other letters). You need to figure out the encoding method and then decode the message to find the answer.
The following quotes are all by none other than Yogi Berra himself. Can you figure them out? They all use the same code.

I'm not going to buy my kids an encyclopedia. Let them walk to school like I did.
In theory there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice there is.
Baseball is ninety percent mental. The other half is physical.

| I didn't bother to check out the code... I wanted to read the Yogi Berra quotes because they are golden! He's hilarious! Good choice for a teaser!  |

I spent longer than I should trying to work out the entire alphabet, though. |

| This kind is soooo hard, but that's good! Wouldn't want to always have easy teasy's. For the record though, I only worked out half of the first quote, just lazy and groggy.
Good job, oh yeah, those quotes are great, love Yogi, Thanks!  |

| I do a lot of these in the daily paper and find it is more challenging to have a different code for each quote.
Oh well, can't please us all, right?
Keep 'em coming. Lot's of fun!!! |

| i don't understand why it was only two question marks !!! when i saw it was cryptography i thought it would be easier to chop my own head off .
i still tried but i didn't feel like devoting my day to this . i like the challenge though .  |
