Anatomy Of Baseball (Sport in American Life)

Southern Methodist University Press, 2008

"These charming essays on baseball themes range from topics like first gloves--mine was a Rawlings Marty Marion model--to the tragic story of the Billy Southworths, father and son, to being relegated to right field or having troubles playing first base. These are tasty morsels."--Fay Vincent, former baseball commissioner "Twenty wonderful writers--that's just enough for two full all-star teams--and two designated hitters."--Christine Brennan, ...

Ten Rings: My Championship Seasons

Only one has ten
If you are a sports fan, baseball fan, Yankees fan, or a Yogi fan this book won't disappoint. The book chronicles the tough, unlikely hero over his career in his words. In many ways Yogi was the bridge between the "old" Yankees (Di Maggio, etc.) and the Mantle / Maris Yankees and beyond. Great book! Fun read!

I only like books I'm going to like
I still dont know what inspired me to buy this book, but after every page, I was glad I did. This book was a very unique combination of philosophy, self-help, humor, historical sports and general good writing. I had never been familiar with Yogi Berra other than some of his more famous quote but I understand his way of thinking now and I believe some of the secrets to life lie between the covers ...

Deduct one star for the Yankees Legal Team (tm)
Really a four star book, but I must communicate how an annoying bunch of lawyers or licensors stuck their hands into a children's book. The first few pages are peppered with superscript trademarks and registered trademarks on popular sayings and Yankee names. Nothing like reading to junior that this stadium is the "House that Ruth built trademark" and how much you look forward to taking him or ...

America's Philosopher King
When Yogi was 14 and was asked by his teachers, in a parent-teacher meeting called to decide his fate about whether to continue his schooling. In the presence of his parents, his teacher asked: "Don't you know anything?" Yogi's answer was: "I don't even suspect anything." And with that answer, he was allowed to quit school. And as they say, the rest is history. This book is irreverent "blue ...

Yogi again surprise with his incite and real wisdom
This book is a little different. It is not filled with Yogi quotes like in the book "I Never said half the things I said" but it does have his typical humor. It is a great book for a Yankee fan like me who followed and watched the great Yankee teams of the 50s and 60s that Yogi played on. The theme of the book is that too many modern players are selfish and that no matter how great an ...

Good Reading
My husband and I are a big fan of this man who has done a lot for the Arizona Diamondbacks, our favorite team. He is a gem to us and look forward to hearing him commentate more games this year.

Noah Liberman, Yogi Berra

Triumph Books, 2003

Brilliant!
This is a wonderful book. It's well written, has a good variety of information and is very attractive in it's presentation, plus it's "accessible" to all types of baseball fans. If you're a glove aficionado (which I am not) perhaps you'll not find all you would hope for here, but that sort of book wouldn't be anywhere near as useful. Oh, and I grew up across the street from Noah Liberman and we ...

Excellent training manual
My dad bought me this book when I was nine years old. That was about 35 years ago. I still remember some of the lessons it taught me and relate them to my 7 year old. This is a great book to teach your child the fundamentals of the great game of baseball.

A 4-bagger
First, I am not a Yankees fan, but they have had some great players over the years and Mantle is, arguably, one of the best, and I have always admired his considerable talent. Everyone knows his statistics and how he liked to party, but I was looking for some insights into the man, and this book delivered. The book is a series of reminiscences by teammates, opponents, writers, friends and people ...

Sports Publishing LLC, 2006

The Perfect Yankee is a great sports book.
Don Larsen's perfect game in the 1956 World Series was a masterpiece, the greatest game ever pitched. This book chronicles Larsen's thoughts and explains why he was the most unlikely candidate to pitch such a game. The Perfect Yankee is a must read for any sports fan.
