2.0
For a baseball fan, I'm sure this is a treasure. Yet another 'why not for 50 cents' book - seem to have gotten a lot of biographies for some reason lately.
Yogi's style was certainly interesting, VERY jumpy and unordered, but I think the book was meant to capture Yogi and it seems to have. It's nice to read an autobiography that seems to actually read as the person might write it, usually the ghost writers seem to take over and you lose the voice of the "author."
My lack of baseball history knowledge is really my own failing and not the book's, so my rating is due to my lack of interest. Yogi is a funny guy though, and I'm sure my dad will enjoy the book, it's in a box for him now.
