Yogi Berra: Eternal Yankee (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780393337143)

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 Yogi's remarkable life as never seen before with nearly one hundred photos and countless "Yogi-isms," and 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.
