Yogi Berra was one of the greatest Yankees ever, one of the greatest baseball players ever, and lived a classic American success story.

His life is the subject of the new biography "Yogi: A Life Behind The Mask," by Jon Pessah and published by Little Brown and Company.

Pessah spent nearly four years writing the book and he discusses some of the more interesting parts of Yogi's life with Sweeny Murti in the latest "30 With Murti" podcast.
