Discover the definitive biography of Yogi Berra, the New York Yankees icon, winner of 10 World Series championships, and the most-quoted player in baseball history.Lawrence "Yogi" Berra was never supposed to become a major league ballplayer.That's what his immigrant father told him. That's what Branch Rickey told him, too—right to Berra's face, in fact. Even the lowly St. Louis Browns of his youth said he'd never make it in the big leagues.Yet baseball was his lifeblood. It was the only thing he ever cared about. Heck, it was the only thing he ever thought about. Berra couldn't allow a constant stream of ridicule about his appearance, taunts about his speech, and scorn about his perceived lack of intelligence to keep him from becoming one of the best to ever play the game—at a position requiring the very skills he was told he did not have.Drawing on more than one hundred interviews and four years of reporting, Jon Pessah delivers a transformational portrait of how Berra handled his hard-earned success—on and off the playing field—as well as his failures; how the man who insisted "I really didn't say everything I said!" nonetheless shaped decades of America's culture; and how Berra's humility and grace redefined what it truly means to be a star.Overshadowed on the field by Joe DiMaggio early in his career and later by a youthful Mickey Mantle, Berra emerges as not only the best loved Yankee but one of the most appealingly simple, innately complex, and universally admired men in all of America.

I could only get about 40 percent of my way through this book before I had to quit in disgust. First is the irritating practice of writing most of the book in present tense -- strange for a biography. On top of that, he slips back and forth between past and present tense with no apparent logic. In one paragraph, he writes "Yogi threw himself" and "it's not too long."Second are style inconsistencies. In one paragraph, he writes "seven-game" and "5-game."Third, although there is a lengthy bibliography, there are no individual source citations. That leads to statements like this in an account of the Yankees' trip to Japan."Yogi can feel a lump forming in his throat and tears rolling down his cheeks. Every Yankee and Japanese player feels the same way.""Yogi is no longer thinking about Sandy Amoros every minute of every day."If the author did not talk to Yogi, and I don't think that he did, how does he know what Yogi and other players were thinking?In other words, it is a sloppily done book that could have used much, much editing. Yogi deserves much better.
