JIM HAGUE PRAISES YOGI: THE LIFE AND TIMES OF AN AMERICAN ORIGINAL

"Once again, Carlo DeVito has developed such a great sense of the historical perspective, capturing the pure essence of the period in baseball history and especially capturing the unique persona that is Yogi Berra. His precise, detailed account is a must-read for baseball fans, especially for Yankee fans and for the thousands of people who truly love Yogi Berra, like I do. I thought I knew a lot about Yogi before. I know even more now.''

- Jim Hague, author of Braddock: Rise of the Cinderella Man

JOHN THORN PRAISES YOGI: THE LIFE AND TIMES OF AN AMERICAN ORIGINAL

"Over the years the legend of Yogi Berra has overtaken the life, and he has become very nearly a literary character, a Plato Behind the Bat. Now, especially for fans too young to have seen him play, Carlo DeVito wonderfully restores the balance. Yogi leaps off the page not as a Borscht Belt quipster but as the most unlikely and most unassuming of the game's great players, truly an American Original."
- John Thorn, author of TOTAL BASEBALL and THE COMPLETE ARMCHAIR BOOK OF BASEBALL

Peter Golenbock Praises YOGI: THE LIFE AND TIMES OF AN AMERICAN ORIGINAL

"Kind and gentle Yogi Berra may have been the greatest catcher of them all. Carlo DeVito has written the most complete and nuanced biography of the Yankee star to date. And when it's over, you'll wish it wasn't."

- Peter Golenbock
