Presentation copy warmly inscribed to Yogi Berra: "Dearest Yogi and Family - These 'Pots' will send the Ball over the Fence. With love - your ever-lovin' sister & Umpire Pearl." Actress singer and born raconteur Pearl Bailey brought her gift for storytelling to the kitchen in this exuberant blend of recipes reminiscence and philosophy. This copy carries an especially appealing association: Bailey's friendship with baseball great Yogi Berra. A devoted New York Mets fan she attended Game 5 of the 1969 World Series - Berra then serving as first base coach - and she was famously captured on film shouting "Did he hit him! Oh it's amazin' - AMAZIN'!" Her excitement and personality featured prominently in the official highlight reel of that championship series. Bailey's rapport with the team continued after their historic win. During the ticker-tape parade that followed she performed in Bryant Park near the New York Public Library in front of a crowd of thousands. As The New York Times Oct. 21 1969 recalled she appeared "dressed in a black suit and black hat fringed with fun" joining Metropolitan Opera baritone Robert Merrill sing a lively duet of "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" with broadcaster Ralph Kiner lending commentary. Part memoir part cookbook Pearl's Kitchen invites the reader into Bailey's home - its rhythms humor and heart. Her recipes come suffused with song and story a reflection of her singular warmth both onstage and off. A lovely presentation copy linking two American originals. Interior clean. Boards toned. Dust wrapper toned and chipped at edges with small closed tear to front cover. Covered in protective mylar. Harcourt Brace Jovanovich hardcover books
