When You Come to a Fork in the Road, Take It!: Inspiration and Wisdom from One of Baseball's Greatest Heroes

Yogi Berra (1925-2015), a fifteen-time Major League Baseball All Star, played on a record ten World Series champion teams for the New York Yankees. Off the field, Berra's wit and humor made him "one of the most universally beloved figures in American life" (Washington Post).

In When You Come to a Fork in the Road, Take It!, Berra provides his inspiring, funny, and surprisingly moving thoughts on life, happiness and getting through slumps. From "It ain't over til it's over" (persistence) and "A nickel aunt worth a dime anymore" (teaching kids the value of money), these essays illustrate how the rules of life and baseball are uncannily similar. The book is a joyful, insightful legacy of "baseball's greatest catcher" (Wall Street Journal) and an "American treasure" (Fox Sports).
