"This story is (non fiction) about Yogi Berra and his career as a baseball player and a manger. He tells you about his conflicts as a coach and a Yankee. As you read the book you will pick up wisdom.
the story is told threw his life lessons as a child, ball player, and a coach. He has to deal with all of the aces and pains as he plays one of the hardest positions in baseball catcher. He goes through finacial issues. Then he explains how he works through it and gives you the reader advice on how you can do it too. He went through hard times playing baseball trying to play during wars and the great depression is not that easy. But he explains how hard he had to work and the obstacles ha over came.
"Yogi is one of the greatest baseball catchers ever. And is one of my favorite baseball players of all time. He has more World Series Rings than any other player. He has a unique way of saying things which have been picked up by the press over the years. Yogi has put them in a small book with each one heading a chapter. He then gives some baseball history as he saw it that made him say it. The following are some of my favorites: Slump? I Ain't in no slump. . . I just Ain't hitting. Public speaking is one of the best things I hate. He's learning me all his experience. Don't get me right, I'm just asking. If you don't know where you are going, you might not get there. Ninety percent of baseball is half mental. Why buy good luggage? You only use it when you travel. You can observe a lot by watching. It's déjà vu all over again. It Ain't over til it's over. Nobody goes there any more. It's too crowded. So I'm Ugly. So What? I don't hit with my face. The future ain't what it used to be. Always go to other people's funerals, otherwise they won't go to yours.
I really liked this book because it helped me remember those good old days in the 50s when I loved to listen to baseball on the radio before TV and then on the small black and white TV we first had."
