In his famous poem, "The Road Not Taken" when "two roads diverged in a wood," Robert Frost "took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference." Yogi Berra, on the other hand, advises that "When You Come to a Fork in the Road, Take It" (the title of the book), and "you shouldn't look back." According to Mr. Berra, the "fork", is any decision.
Drawing from his baseball experience, Mr. Berra tells 40 different "stories" all packed with memorable wisdom and insights. The stories range from commonly cited quotations such as "Slump? I ain't in no slump ... I just ain't hitting," and "It ain't over `til it's over" to less common sayings like "I'd rather be the Yankee catcher than the U.S. President," and "The future ain't what it used to be."
For baseball fans, this little book is a necessary read. Each section (chapter) begins with a photo of defining moments in baseball. This book is inspirational. Read it for keeps.
