Infos

Life had not been kind to young Tommy Riggs-and even though he had all the natural playing ability to become a Major Leaguer, his anger at the world kept him from becoming the great player he could be.How Tommy Riggs learned not only to be a star catcher, but also to live with himself and his teammates, makes a suspenseful story filled with the true-to-life color of baseball from the Minor Leagues through the bitter competition of spring training camp to top flight baseball as it is played in the Major Leagues. It is a story every sports fan will enjoy.LAWRENCE "e;YOGI"e; BERRA was probably the one man best able to tell sports fans how to play BEHIND THE PLATE and how it feels to be a catcher. His unequaled career with the New York Yankees won him a place as one of the all-time greats. In the words of Casey Stengel, "e;Outside of DiMaggio, the man behind the plate, Berra, is the greatest player that I ever had to manage."e;TIL FERDENZI had a completely rounded sports background that made him the perfect collaborator for "e;Yogi"e; on this book. A six-letter varsity baseball and football athlete at Boston College-a former high school coach of baseball and football-and for sportswriter for the New York Journal-American, he helped bring baseball alive for sports fans in BEHIND THE PLATE.
