Yogi Berra #1

Yogi Berra: Baseball Hero Yogi Berra, a poor young man working in a shop instead of playing the game he loves, gets discovered by Coach Browne and signed by the New York Yankees for five hundred dollars. Despite initial struggles—including poor hitting and opposing managers exploiting his tendency to swing at bad pitches—Yogi perseveres and becomes a star player, eventually marrying his sweetheart Carmen and receiving praise from Yankees management. The story culminates with Yogi's wedding in St. Louis on January 26, 1949, a honeymoon motor trip across the nation, and recognition of his transformation into one of baseball's most beloved heroes.
