Ten Rings

[Allie Fox]

Yogi Berra, beaseball's greatest catcher recounts the ten seasons in which he helps the New York Yankees reach baseball's ultimate goal; winning the World Series.

This is a very easy read. Berra is a great if succinct storyteller. After a brief introduction to his early career he goes directly into a season by season account of his championships. For a casual baseball fan this is a fun recollection of a time when baseball was played less for money and more for the fun of it. For a more serious fan with an interest in the history of the game this book is nothing more than a fun diversion.

I would suggest checking out Dynasty: The New York Yankees 1949-1964 by Peter Golenbock. It's long but a very accurate account of the same time that Berra covers in Ten Rings.
