Description
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. In this revelatory biography, Allen Barra presents Yogi's remarkable life as never seen before, from his childhood in St. Louis's Italian-American "Dago Hill," through his leading role on the 1949-53 Yankees and the travails of the '64 pennant race to his epic battles and final peace with George Steinbrenner.
