The legendary New York Yankees catcher tells the incredible story of his personal journey
For seventeen seasons, the name Jorge Posada was synonymous with New York Yankees baseball. Now, in this long-awaited memoir, one of the greatest Yankees ever to put on the uniform details his journey to home plate, sharing a remarkable, generational account of his journey from the ballfields of Puerto Rico to the House That Ruth built. Offering a view from behind the mask unlike any other, Jorge discusses the key moments and plays that shaped teams and forged a legacy that came to define Yankees baseball for a generation. 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.
Going beyond his all-star career, Jorge also shares his life in full for the first time, examining how his remarkable journey to the big leagues began in the most unexpected of ways. 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 ballplayer, honing his talent and instilling in him the drive necessary to fulfill his childhood dream of playing in the Bronx.
My Journey Home is a testament to hard work and a celebration of the generational gift of baseball between fathers and sons.
