Produktbeschreibung
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, with fourteen pennants, ten World Series, and three MVPs. 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 1949-1953 Yankees, the only team to win five consecutive World Series; to the travails of the 1964 pennant race; through his epic battles and final peace with George Steinbrenner. This biography, replete with 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.
