Description:  iv, 508 pages (large print), 16 unnumbered pages of plates : color illustrations ; 23 cm Summary:  "The legendary New York Yankee catcher tells the story of his personal journey and the father-son bond that fueled his love of the game. For seventeen seasons, the name Jorge Posada was synonymous with New York Yankees baseball. A fixture behind home plate throughout the Yankees biggest successes, Jorge became the Yankees' star catcher almost immediately upon his arrival, and in the years that followed, his accomplishments, work ethic, and leadership established him as one of the greatest Yankees ever to put on the uniform. Jorge Posada was born in 1971 in San Juan, Puerto Rico to a Cuban father and a Dominican mother. He details his journey from the ball fields of Puerto Rico to the House that Ruth built. With pitch-by-pitch recall, Jorge looks back across the years, explaining how -- as part of the Core Four alongside Derek Jeter, Andy Pettitte, and Mariano Rivera -- he helped to reestablish the Yankees as a dynasty and win five World Series. Digging into his cultural roots in Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, and Cuba, Jorge illuminates three generations of cherished father-son relationships that have made him the man he is today. At the center is the deep bond he shares with his father and namesake, Jorge Sr, who escaped Cuba and would eventually mold his son to be a ball player, honing his talent and instilling in him the drive necessary to fulfill his childhood dream of playing in the Bronx."--Provided by publisher.
