An exciting new collection of sublimely simple wisdom from a
bestselling author, celebrated athlete, and a true American hero.
Three-time MVP and Hall of Famer Yogi Berra hit home runs twice
in a row with his two previous books, The Yogi Book and It Ain't
Over. Now, his winning streak will continue with this latest work
-- a collection of appealing, funny, and surprisingly moving essays
on life, happiness, and getting through the slumps.
Filled with another delightful helping of Yogi's inimitable and
unwittingly wise aphorisms, these reflections focus on the valuable
lessons he's learned on and off the field. From his early years as
an immigrant's son who dropped out of the eighth grade through his
triumphant career as a player and manager who played in a record
seventy five World Series games, Yogi illustrates his homespun
philosophies with apt analogies to his trove of baseball stories.
He expounds on such topics as Patience (Waiting for your pitch);
Sacrifice (Laying down a bunt); Trusting Others (Taking direction);
and Staying Focused (Keeping your eye on the ball), to show how the
rules of life and baseball are uncannily similar. And, in the
tradition of Don't Sweat the Small Stuff and All I Really Need to I
Know I Learned in Kindergarten, he explains his recipe for
fulfillment and happiness with life lessons that are profoundly
simple, simply profound -- and classic Yogi to the core. Following
on the heels of two New York Times bestselling books and filled
with memorable photos, this new collection of Yogi wisdom will
undoubtedly expand his growing legion of fans. When You Come to a
Fork in the Road, Take It! is a wise, humble, touching book that's
a guaranteed winner. Inshort, it's deja vu all over again.
A baseball legend reflects on the following lessons . . .
"A nickel ain't worth a dime any more".
"It ain't over til it's over".
"You can't think and hit at the same time".
"I didn't really say everything I said".
"The future ain't what it used to be".
. . . and many more
