In this nostalgic memoir, a son provides a unique perspective on his legendary father–the baseball star, Yogi Berra.
Yogi Berra was the backbone of the New York Yankees through ten World Series Championships. In My Dad, Yogi is Dale Berra chronicles his unshakeable bond with his father, going back to his suburban New Jersey upbringing, his parents’ enduring relationship, and his Dad’s formidable career.
Following in his Dad’s footsteps, Dale came up with the Pittsburgh Pirates, contributing to their 1979 championship season and emerging as one of baseball’s most talented young players before eventually uniting with his Dad in the Yankee dugout.
Yogi supported his son throughout his highs of his careers and lows of a drug addiction, eventually staging an intervention that would save Dale’s life, and draw the entire family even closer. My Dad, Yogi is Dale’s tribute to his dad–a treat for baseball fans and fathers and sons everywhere.
