Yogi The Life & Times of an American Original

Few men in sports history have accomplished more than Yogi Berra: three MVP Awards, 21 World Series appearances as a player, coach, and manager, and a plaque in Cooperstown honoring him as arguably the greatest catcher to ever play the position. Off the field, the man often derided for his appearance has become one of the most beloved and enduring sports figures of all time, as well as a successful pitchman and the source of some of the most-repeated expressions in the English language. Now get ready to read the true story of how it all happened.

Carlo DeVito is a publishing executive and the author of the critically acclaimed Yogi: The Life and Times of an American Original, as well as biographies on Wellington Mara and D. Wayne Lucas. He lives in Ghent, New York.
