Yogi Berra is one of the most popular former athletes in American history, and the most quoted American since Abraham Lincoln.

In this revelatory biography, Allen Barra presents Yogis remarkable life as never seen before with nearly one hundred photos and countless Yogi-isms, and offers hilarious insights into many of baseballs greatest moments. From calling Don Larsens perfect game, to managing the 1973 You Gotta Believe New York Mets, Yogis life and career are a virtual cutaway view of our national pastime in the twentieth century. 66 photos
