P does not decode to E at any time in this code.

Guys, I am here to help the cause because I personally have no chance of decoding this cipher. But here is what I realised:
Hint number 2 are the first two letters, NY. Which are the abreviation for New York. As you know, New York is the 11th state. 11 Letters away from N is Y.....
Just throwing that out there!
Good Luck, and have fun!

Does the plaintext have any double letters?

Just got back from a Boy Scout camping trip with the boys. Looks like y'all have been having LOTS of fun! Very interesting!

Are prime numbers involved in the solution?

Not intentionally. There is nothing to NY being the 11th state, or there being 11 letters between N and Y

Hint #6: You need a key to break this code, and the key is the quoter's nickname (you likely wouldn't know his real first name without searching it).

A nickel ain't worth a dime anymore. - Yogi Berra
Take the encrypted text, reverse it (ZCPLJ...) and SUBTRACT the ordinal value of the keyword (YOGI).
Z - Y = A (Ordinal value of Z [26] minus ordinal value of Y [25] equals [1] which represents A)
C - O = N (You have to add 26 to C since its ordinal value is less than O's)
P - G = I
L - I = C
J - Y = K (again, add 26)
and so on.
I'm sure jg86 LOVED it when the first two letters (after being reversed) were NY for this St. Louis born Yankees legend, whos first name is really Lawrence!

I'd like to hear jg86 say that, and then I will tell you what the deal is about the golf ball (if jg86 doesn't tell you first).

I did love it when the NY showed up :)
I'm out of town this weekend Lars, but I will make it to Strathroy next weekend for sure.

OK, here's the deal on the golf ball. When I play a new golf course, I try to get a souvenir golf ball with the course logo. I have played less than two dozen courses in my life, so getting a new souvenir is a big deal for me. When jg86 won one of my previous code breakers, I found out he was not far from a golf course in Canada that was out of souvenir golf balls when I was there a few years ago. He was gracious enough to agree to send me one next time he was in Strathroy, but now he has to put that little chore at the top of his to-do list. I get my golf ball faster, and jg86 still has a prize burning a hole in his pocket so we may all have the pleasure of being tormented by him again.
Oh, joy!
