In Ten Rings, Yogi, for the first time, tells the stories behind
each of those remarkable championship seasons, spanning 1947 through
1962, baseball's golden years. It was a time when players played for the
love of the game, a time when dynasties were born and baseball became
the national pastime. And what a pastime it was.
In more than a century of baseball history, there is only one player who
has won the most championship rings--Yogi Berra. He has ten of them, in
fact. One for each and every finger.
With Yogi Berra at their heart, Casey Stengel's Yankees took on their
heralded archrivals: the Cleveland Indians, the New York Giants, the
Brooklyn Dodgers, and, of course, the Boston Red Sox. And with those
teams was Yogi's constellation of contemporaries, a who's who of the
Hall of Fame: Joe DiMaggio, Mickey Mantle, Sandy Koufax, Willie Mays,
Duke Snider, Ted Williams, Jackie Robinson, Phil Rizzuto, and many
others.
Each season brought its own drama, and it's all brought to life by the
man who witnessed it. Ten Rings is a one-of-a-kind story told by a
one-of-a-kind guy, baseball's elder statesman, the beloved Yogi Berra.
