Take a walk down memory lane with a group of Major League Baseball Hall of Famers as they share their memories of that one favorite game. From Red Schoendienst's first professional game, with butterflies causing error after error until the great Branch Rickey assured him that he'd be in the game for a long time; and Paul Molitor's rounding the bases in Game 6 of the 1993 World Series, looking up into the stands to make eye contact with his father; to Bobby Doerr, the oldest living Hall of Famer; to Goose Gossage, one of the most recent Hall of Fame inductees, their memories are all here and told in poignant detail by the players themselves as they look back over the arc of their careers and recall their most memorable moments on the diamond. “Yogi Was Up with a Guy on Third...” is a book that will delight baseball fans of all ages.

"There's one game that I pitched against the great Warren Spahn. We hooked up in a game and we completed the game, 16 innings, at 1-0. And you're not going to see that anymore in baseball."
--Juan Marichal
"I went 4-for-5, and I think I drove in five or six runs. I was just hitting line drives all over the place.... I told the guys, `If you could feel what I'm feeling, hitting is so easy.'"
--Rod Carew
"I threw a no-hitter when I was, like, 22.... It was very personal. It was not a team thing. But at the time it was huge. You finally get some attention playing in Cleveland, and that's the only way you could do it."
--Dennis Eckersley
