Bøker av Yogi Berra

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.

In Ten Rings, Yogi, for the first time, tells the stories behind each of those remarkable championship seasons, spanning 1947 through 1962, baseball's golden years. It was a time when players played for the love of the game, a time when dynasties were born and baseball became the national pastime. And what a pastime it was.In more than a century of baseball history, there is only one player who has won the most championship rings?Yogi Berra. He has ten of them, in fact. One for each and every finger.With Yogi Berra at their heart, Casey Stengel's Yankees took on their heralded archrivals: the Cleveland Indians, the New York Giants, the Brooklyn Dodgers, and, of course, the Boston Red Sox. And with those teams was Yogi's constellation of contemporaries, a who's who of the Hall of Fame: Joe DiMaggio, Mickey Mantle, Sandy Koufax, Willie Mays, Duke Snider, Ted Williams, Jackie Robinson, Phil Rizzuto, and many others.Each season brought its own drama, and it's all brought to life by the man who witnessed it. Ten Rings is a one-of-a-kind story told by a one-of-a-kind guy, baseball's elder statesman, the beloved Yogi Berra.
