Driving Mr. Yogi Audiobook (Free)

It happens every springtime. Yankees pitching great Ron Guidry arrives at the Tampa airport to pick up Hall of Fame catcher and national treasure Yogi Berra. Guidry drives him to the ballpark. They view the youthful players. They talk shop. They eat dinner jointly and tease one another mercilessly. They trade tales about the greats they have met along the way. And the next day they do a similar thing all over again. As every previous ballplayer can value, in that regular, every springtime, there about Traveling Mr. Yogi emerges a certain magic. Traveling Mr. Yogi is the story of what sort of unique camaraderie between a pitcher and catcher is definitely renewed every year. It began in 1999, when Berra was reunited using the Yankees after a long self-exile, the result of being unceremoniously terminated by George Steinbrenner fourteen years before. A reconciliation between Berra and the Manager designed that Berra would go to spring training again. Guidry befriended “Mr. Yogi” immediately. After all, Berra had been a mentor in the clubhouse when Guidry was pitching for the Yankees. Guidry understood the youthful players would benefit significantly from Mr. Yogi’s encyclopedic knowledge of the game, just like Guidry got during his playing days. So he motivated him to share his insights. Quickly, an offhand batting suggestion from Mr. Yogi changed Nick Swisher’s period around. Stories about managing a hitter like Ted Williams or catching Don Larsen’s ideal video game captured the players’ creativity. And in Yogi, Guidry found not only an elder partner or source of leisure – he found a greatest friend.
