Perfect to celebrate baseball season, here is the life and famous
words, such as it ain't over till it's over, of Major League Baseball
player and New York Yankee Lawrence Yogi Berra.
Yogi Berra loved his family, his neighborhood, his friends, and, most of
all, baseball. He was crazy for it, ever since he was a young kid
playing with friends in an abandoned dump. But baseball didn't love him
back--at least not at first. Yogi was different. He didn't have the
right look. When he finally made it to the major leagues, Yogi faced
pranks and harassment from players, sportswriters, and fans. Their words
hurt, but they made Yogi determined to show all that he could do. Author

celebrated New York Yankee and American icon, who earned a World Series
ring for each finger and made baseball love him back.
