It's never easy to pick a favorite. And for baseball's premier Hall of Fame players, choosing a favorite game is nearly impossible. With so many memories, so many amazing plays, and so many unforgettable moments, how is it possible to choose just one ultimate game?

In Yogi Was Up with a Guy on Third, author Maureen Mullen has exhaustively interviewed 53 of the top Hall of Fame players and pinned them down on those games that, for one reason or another, stand out as their favorites. It wasn't always easy, and some of them were not even able to settle on just one favorite game. But most of the Hall of Famers in this book had a quick answer and a clearly defined favorite already at hand.

This is a rare opportunity to look inside the minds of some of the best baseball players of all time and to see exactly what matters to them, to pick their brains and pull out that one game in history that stands out from the crowd.

Some of the games discussed in this book go back to before most readers were even aware of baseball, such as Bob Feller's 1946 no-hitter against the Yankees. But many more will be easy to remember: Tony Gwynn's Game 1 performance in the 1998 World Series or Wade Boggs' first game back after the death of his mother in 1986, for example.

From World Series games, playoffs, no-hitters, and those other games that stick out for some unique personal reason, the variety in this book is staggering.

Regardless of where your loyalty lies, whether you love or hate the teams for which these men played, this book provides fascinating insight into some of baseball's best players of all time....
