In The Wit and Wisdom of Yogi Berra, author Phil Pepe takes Yogi from St. Louis to New York’s Yankee Stadium and Shea Stadium, including all the stops along the way - from the days he put soles on women’s shoes to his induction into the Baseball’s Hall of Fame, when he coined one of his most remembered phrases: “I thank everybody for making this day necessary.”

Phil Pepe explores Yogi Berra as a boy, player, hero, coach, manager, husband, and father, a buffoon and a human being. He relates all of the Berraisms in an absorbing treatment that is simultaneously comical, thoughtful, and biographical. Who can forget what Yogi said about a popular restaurant: “Nobody goes there anymore. It’s too crowded.” Or Yogi’s take on Little League Baseball? “I think it’s wonderful. It keeps the kids out of the house.”
