I am indebited to Charlotte from the staff of the Seward Memorial Library for always including one or two books that she knows I will appreciate when she loads up books for Elaine. Yogi was written by Jon Pessah who was also the bestselling author of "The Game" a critically acclaimed examination of the power brokers who built Magor League Baseball into a multibillion-dollar business. It is a 566 page book published by Little, Brown and Company; Hachettte Book Group; 1290 Avenue of the Americas, New York, NY 10104; littlebrown.com. First Edition: April 2020.
The book is of medium sized print and I doubt that Charlotte ever expected me to read the whole thing but what it did was bring back memories of Yogi and following he and the Yankees during their prime. I am surprised at the date of the First Edition being so recent, 5 years after his death and many years after his peak in popularity. He was only about 6 weeks older than me and I would guess that his greatest fan base would be in their 70's now. Many of his sayings have no time frame and that is what protects his longivity.
