Yogi Berra: Eternal Yankee

Yogi Berra: Eternal Yankee

â€œAllen Barra brings a legendary figure from the true golden age of baseball to life.â€â€•Bob Costas
Yogi Berra is one of the most popular former athletes in American history, and the most quoted American since Abraham Lincoln. Part clown, part feisty competitor, Berra is also the winningest player (fourteen pennants, ten World Series, 3 MVPs) in baseball history. In this revelatory biography, Allen Barra presents Yogiâ€™s remarkable life as never seen before with nearly one hundred photos and countless â€œYogi-isms,â€ and offers hilarious insights into many of baseballâ€™s greatest moments. From calling Don Larsenâ€™s perfect game, to managing the 1973 â€œYou Gotta Believeâ€ New York Mets, Yogiâ€™s life and career are a virtual cutaway view of our national pastime in the twentieth century. 66 photos
