This is a solid biography of Yogi Berra, one that focuses on Berra the man and the canny ball player and manager, and not on the many colorful sayings attributed to the late Mr. Berra. Sadly, it appeared while Berra was still living but I read it after his death. A readable biography that offers a well-rounded portrait of a gentleman and great athlete. ( ) I've hated the Yankees since the day that George Steinbrenner took over the team, yet I have never gotten over my love for the "eternal Yankee" Yogi Berra. This is the forth or fifth book I've read on or by Berra and I don't get tired of reading about this brilliant ball player with the humble attitude and the marvelous malaprop tongue in baseball. The author (no relation that they know of) gives more detail than any of the other books I've read, and I loved it. I'm still not a Yankee fan but there is one Yankee that I will always cheer for, Yogi Berra. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Yogi Berra is one of the most popular former athletes in American history and the most quoted American since Abraham Lincoln. Part comedian, part feisty competitor, Berra is also the winningest player in baseball history, with fourteen pennants, ten World Series, and three MVPs. In this revelatory biography, Allen Barra presents Yogi's remarkable life as never seen before, from his childhood in "Dago Hill," the Italian-American neighborhood in St. Louis; to his leading role on the 1949–1953 Yankees, the only team to win five consecutive World Series; to the travails of the 1964 pennant race; through his epic battles and final peace with George Steinbrenner. This biography, replete with countless "Yogi-isms," offers hilarious insights into many of baseball's greatest moments. From calling Don Larsen's perfect game to managing the 1973 "You Gotta Believe" New York Mets, Yogi's life and career are a virtual cutaway view of our national pastime in the twentieth century.
