"Truly one of the most interesting characters in all of baseball history. Reading a book from Yogi is like trying to have a conversation with him, sometimes confusing, sometimes enlightening, and sometimes you just get lost."
"For a baseball fan, I'm sure this is a treasure. Yet another 'why not for 50 cents' book - seem to have gotten a lot of biographies for some reason lately.
Yogi's style was certainly interesting, VERY jumpy and unordered, but I think the book was meant to capture Yogi and it seems to have. It's nice to read an autobiography that seems to actually read as the person might write it, usually the ghost writers seem to take over and you lose the voice of the "author."
My lack of baseball history knowledge is really my own failing and not the book's, so my rating is due to my lack of interest. Yogi is a funny guy though, and I'm sure my dad will enjoy the book, it's in a box for him now."
"Yogi Berra is one of my favorite baseball people. I say people and not player because Yogi was both a player and a manager (and even a coach). This book was an autobiography, and i prefer an autobio to a plain old bio. Why? I don't know, they just seem better. I did enjoy this book. However, Yogi, you apologize too much in this book. Everytime you talk about someone you say, "I'm not putting him down." or "I mean no disrespect." to the nth degree. EVERYBODY KNOWS YOU'RE THE NICEST GUY IN THE WHOLE WORLD, OKAY? STOP BEING SO DAMN REDUNDANT AND JUST SAY WHAT YOU'RE SAYING. hee.
In the book he points out that through the years many people (in the media) have called him dumb or stupid. That is the saddest thing ever. Yogi is awesome."
