| book description |
This is a first-ever biography of one of the foremost New York Yankees in the team's extraordinary history. Bill Dickey is regarded as one of baseball's greatest catchers of all time from his playing days with the Yankees between 1928 and 1946. Not only a .313 lifetime hitter, Dickey was routinely praised for his brilliant fielding and game management, as well as his wise handling of pitchers. A legendary backstop, an 11-time All-Star and a seven-time World Series champion as a player, Dickey was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1954. As a coach under Casey Stengel for most of the period when the Yankees won 10 pennants in 12 years, Dickey was an instructor of Yogi Berra, Elston Howard and Mickey Mantle. One of the most prominent baseball figures ever from Arkansas, where he was raised from the age of seven and made his life-long off-season home, Dickey was a quiet leader amidst generations of Yankee luminaries, a teammate on the field of Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig (whom he called his best friend), and Joe DiMaggio. This biography covers the entire life of this celebrated Yankee.
