The Yogi Book

The beloved philosopher Yogi Berra has a gift for saying the smartest things in the funniest ways. His off-the-cuff wisdom is the stuff of legend--surprising, immediate, profound, and endlessly quotable.

Why never to give up: "It ain't over till it's over." Advice on finding your way: "When you come to a fork in the road, take it." The mind-body problem: "You can't think and hit at the same time." Gathered together by the man himself, The Yogi Book is the definitive collection of Yogi-isms. It includes appreciations from some of Yogi's biggest fans, and a time line of his unparalleled career, from days playing sandlot ball on "the Hill" in St. Louis to his milestones as a Yankee catcher--ten World Championships, three-time American League MVP, 15 All-Star Games, instant Hall of Famer--to his life as a manager, family man, and all-around sage.
