LIBRARY JOURNAL PRAISES YOGI: THE LIFE AND TIMES OF AN AMERICAN ORIGINAL

Library Journal
Public libraries probably have books by or about Yogi, but DeVito (Wellington: The Maras, the Giants, and the City of New York) aims to be definitive with his long and admiring look at Lawrence Peter (Lorenzo Pietro) Berra's life, detailing the man behind the malapropisms. A more thorough treatment than most star players receive, it's likely to appeal more to seasoned buffs than to fans of Yogi's AFLAC commercial. For all large baseball collections.
