I really wasn't sure what to expect from this book, and the intro further confused me. I wasn't sure if it would be about Yogi or Dale, and I wasn't sure I wanted to read the latter. Luckily it was tipped in favor of Yogi and I liked Yogi through Dale's lens. I'm young enough that while I'm familiar with Dale's truncated career, I didn't get to watch him play. I certainly knew of those others whose careers were impacted by drugs.

Overall a well written book. Some common stories, but a good chunk of this was new to me as well-read Yankees fan. I also like what Dale's brothers and daughter brought to the story with their memories if their (grand)father.

I'd recommend this to baseball fans, and even non fans. It's an accessible and interesting book.

I love Baseball and I adore Yogi. This is a mixture of History about Yogi and a lot of history on his son Dale. The writing was like listening to a friend telling you a story. If you’re a fan of Yogi, you’ll be a fan of this book.

If you are a fan of baseball, you will like this book. If you are a fan of Yogi Berra, you will love this book. Dale, Yogi’s youngest son, wrote a heartfelt tribute to his dad who was a devoted husband and father, a baseball legend, and an exceptional man and role model for all generations.
I enjoyed reading the many stories about Yogi and his contemporaries. His Yogi-isms still make me smile. I also liked the interspersed comments by Dale’s brothers and daughter. They wrote their own perspectives on what Dale had written. I especially enjoyed reading about the strong Berra bonds and the tough love they forced on Dale to either choose cocaine or his family…he couldn’t have both. Ironically, Dale had to use that same tough love on his daughter, Whitney, when cocaine became a part of her life.
Whether you’re a baseball fan or not, reading this book will entertain you. It will make you laugh and cry, but most importantly, it will honor a man who was simply a decent human being.

Excellent book written by the son of the great Yogi Berra. I am a baseball fan, but a Cubs fan not a Yankee fan and I still enjoyed reading about Yogi-the great Yankee star. I would highly recommend this to any Yogi Berra admirer. I loved the sincerity that Dale wrote about his Dad with. Though at times I felt that being great at sports was way too important in Dale's life and on how he judged people--which I really don't agree with. However, I think Yogi and Carmen Berra were excellent role models and just really good people after reading their son's book. I especially enjoyed when Dale would add vignettes in the book that showcased another member of his families memories about Yogi or their Mom.
