"Funny, revealing, and surprising . . . anything that brings new
Yogi Berra stories is a good book." --MLB.com
"Driving Mr. Yogi" is the story of how a unique friendship between
a pitcher and catcher is renewed every year. It began in 1999, when
Yogi Berra was reunited with the Yankees after a long self-exile,
the result of being unceremoniously fired by George Steinbrenner
fourteen years before. A reconciliation between Berra and the Boss
meant that Berra would attend spring training again. Guidry
befriended "Mr. Yogi" instantly. After all, Berra had been a mentor
in the clubhouse back when Guidry was pitching for the Yankees.
Guidry knew the young players would benefit greatly from Mr. Yogi's
encyclopedic knowledge of the game, just as Guidry had during his
playing days, so he encouraged Berra to share his insights.
Soon, an offhand batting tip from Mr. Yogi turned Nick Swisher's
season around. Stories about handling a hitter like Ted Williams or
catching Don Larsen's perfect game captured their imaginations. And
in Yogi, Guidry found not just an elder companion or source of
amusement -- he found a best friend.
At turns tender and laugh-out-loud funny, and teeming with
unforgettable baseball yarns that span more than fifty years,
"Driving Mr. Yogi" is a universal story about the importance of
wisdom being passed from one generation to the next, as well as a
reminder that time is what we make of it and compassion never gets
old.
"A refreshing change from the normal diet of sports books out
there . . . A warm, sentimental look at a baseball icon." --"Tampa
Tribune"
