Once Yogi married Ling Ling he totally went crazy. He was playing in a rock band with his friend Shouting Thomas and doing a lot of drugs. He also began to gamble excessively and act recklessly. He would bet on anything. Since he was a big Cubs fan like Shouting Thomas they dropped a bundle betting on the Cubbies because they never won anything. Yogi got further and further involved in the life, to the point he was running match races with Smokey the Bear at Hialeah race track where he lost all of his money. That was the final straw for Ling Ling so she left him for Gentle Ben.
