Yogi Berra's Favorite Baseball Radio Shows Book

Yogi Berra is one of the greatest catchers and clutch hitters in the history of baseball—and perhaps the most beloved athlete of our time.

His heroics on the field and his humanitarian efforts made off it remain the stuff of legend.

And his one—of—a—kind observations have fashioned him into an oft—quoted American folk hero—with such quips as "It's deju vu all over again, ""A nickel ain't worth a dime anymore, "and "When you come to a fork in the road, take it."

Yogi's love for the game began when he was a boy in St. Louis, playing sandlot ball and listening to games and players on the radio.

Through these shows he got to know the players, who inspired him to live out his dream.

In this collection, Yogi has personally selected the old—time radio programs that remind him of what the game was like, many starring his dear old friends.

Whether they were hamming it up or giving an interview, these baseball stars mesmerized a nation and helped bring Americans together in a love for the game. Listen along with Yogi to this special collection, and share it with your friends, family and all the fans in your life.

And remember: 90 percent of baseball is half mental. Featured are 19 episodes: THE ABBOTT & COSTELLO SHOW, Who's on First?
