Part comedian, part feisty competitor, Berra is also the winningest player (fourteen pennants, ten World Series, three MVPs) in baseball history. 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 1949-53 Yankees, the only team to win five consecutive World Series, to the travails of the '64 pennant race, through his epic battles and final peace with George Steinbrenner. This biography, replete with nearly one hundred photos and 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. 98 photographs. 3468019 30 3 2009 Yogi Berra: The Eternal Yankee total:32|5:4|4:17|3:9|2:1|1:1| 32 118 51 12 4 0 false false Sun Jan 04 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sun Mar 29 19:29:21 -0700 2009 Sun Mar 29 19:29:56 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Wed Jul 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Jun 30 09:18:05 -0700 2009 Sun Jul 05 20:56:00 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sat Jan 03 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Thu Dec 25 11:36:34 -0800 2008 Sat Jan 03 19:53:57 -0800 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sun Apr 05 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Mar 26 11:41:51 -0700 2009 Sun Apr 05 12:38:42 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Wed May 20 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu May 21 06:10:29 -0700 2009 Thu May 21 06:14:18 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Fri Sep 04 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 20 20:14:45 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 20 20:19:28 -0700 2009 1
