If you were expecting a book filled with "Yogi-isms", those (in)famous contortions of common truths, you've picked up the wrong book. Apparently Yogi is more than a little defensive that bon mots like "It ain't over 'til it's over" earned him a reputation as a latter-day Forrest Gump, and he's not going to take it anymore.

It sounds like Yogi, but the constant testimonials to his intelligence begin to - unless you are a dyed in the wool Yogi fan - generate a response similar to biting down on tin foil. I can't believe this book took more than a week to finish. I started it with anticipation, and each night it took more and more will power to pick it up and work through a few more pages.
