Summary

This quote, attributed to famous baseball player Yogi Berra, humorously highlights the declining value of something. It implies that inflation or changing circumstances have rendered a modest amount like a nickel to be insignificant today. Berra's clever play on words adds a lighthearted touch to the observation, satirizing the idea that even a small change in circumstances can drastically affect the perceived worth of something. Ultimately, the quote invites reflection on how the value we assign to things can fluctuate over time.
