If the subtitle of this delicious collection of Yogi-isms has you scratching your head, it has done its job as stunningly as Berra used to do his behind the plate at Yankee Stadium. The Hall of Fame MVP catcher for the pinstriped dynasties of the late 1940s through the '50s and into the '60s, Berra was about as quick with his witticisms as he was with his bat and glove. But if his observations hit the heart of the plate, his grammar tended to pop out of left field, hence the creation of a unique mode of malapropism dubbed the Yogi-ism. To truly understand the title, you need to know that not every mot ascribed to Yogi actually emanated from his mouth--they only sounded like they should have. Thus, he really didn't say everything he said, which makes The Yogi Book absolutely necessary (see page 10).
To the things that Yogi did say, The Yogi Book does both service and justice. It gathers the witticisms in a single convenient volume, adds a scrapbook of photos, then lets their progenitor riff, filling in color commentary on what was happening beyond his mind and what was going through it when the famous phrases were dispatched into the public domain. He deservedly takes credit for such immortal pronunciamentos as "Nobody goes there anymore. It's too crowded." (page 16); "It's deja vu all over again." (page 30); "When you come to a fork in the road, take it." (page 48); "The future ain't what it used to be." (page 118); "It gets late early out there." (page 64); and "Ninety percent of this game is half mental." (page 69). All, like the sacred texts they happen to be, are appropriately parsed for your edification, as is the greatest Yogi-ism of them all: "It ain't over 'til it's over." (page 121).
Kurzbeschreibung
At last they're all together, in celebration of one of America's most beloved figures: from "It ain't over 'til it's over" to "You can't think and hit at the same time" here are all the famous Yogisms, those pithy-as-poetry legendary words that are among the most popularly quoted sayings ever. Compiled by Yogi Berra and his family, "The Yogi Book" is the official collection of all Yogi Berra's quotable quotes. And more than just the genuine sayings themselves, there's Yogi on hand to explain each saying's provenance. Including many rarely-before-seen photographs plus appreciations and comments from friends and colleagues, "The Yogi Book" is a one-man Bartlett's, and a look at the life of a legend.

Format:Taschenbuch
To call The Yogi Book a "book" borders on fraud. If the the entire text of The Yogi Book were to appear in 10-point type it probably wouldn't fill more than four pages. But The Yogi Book uses extremely large typeface, and pages with less than 20 words of text are all too common. Burn your money and you'll get more satisfaction than you'll get from spending it on The Yogi Book.

Humorvolle Aufarbeitung der bekanntesten Zitate vom wohl meist zitierten Amerikaner der Nachkriegsgeschichte. Neben seien herausragenden Leistungen als professioneller Baseballspieler, ist Yogi Berras Begabung, einfache und komplexe Dinge in einer kurzen prägnanten und vor Allem humorvollen Weise Ausdruck zu verleihen, einzigartig. Viele seiner Zitate regen zum Lachen oder auch anchdenken an.
Die Zitate werden mit kuren Anmerkungen und teils sehr persönlichen Bildern von Yogi präsentiert. Sehr unterhaltsam und lesenswert. Erweiterte Grundkenntnisse der englischen (amerikanischen) Sprache und den Regeln von Baseball sind allerdings von Nöten.

Yogi is the best! Buy this book , also "The 59 Minute Baseball Practice" video, "Joy in Mudville:A Little League Memoir" and "The Baseball Encylopidia " and your season will be a "Home Run". Yogi's is the best and even he didn't say all in the book you can picture him saying it.

I ENJOYED EVERY WORD ON EVERY PAGE (AND THE PICTURES, TOO!)
This has got to be one of the most--if not THE most--funny and refreshing books I've read in a LONG, LONG time!!!! Way to go, Yogi!

Yogi's Best
Nobody is funnier than Yogi when it comes to stupid quotes. Although many of these quotes have been heard before, they are still funny. Lesen Sie weiter...

A BIG ZERO!
An amazingly empty book. Just a few quotes we've all heard a thousand times before. I think Yogi was a wonderful player. But this lightweight book certainly isn't worth owning.

Short, but great!
Great book, everyone will enjoy the sayings of Yogi, even if you are not a sports fan.

I laughed until I fell off my chair. Perfect gift.
This is a perfect gift to take to someone in the hospital or recovering or someone who just needs a lift.

A super book!

I've yearned for a book like this for years, and here it is.
Even people who don't care for baseball love Yogi Berra and his way with words. For years I've hoped that someone would do a book like this one, and here it is at last. Lesen Sie weiter...
