Synopsis
Beginning with his early years as a St. Louis teenager, Elston tells of Elston Howard's love of baseball and his encounters with racism. His three decades with the New York Yankees include numerous anecdotes about fellow Yankee legends such as Mickey Mantle, Whitey Ford, and Yogi Berra. Written with a wife's compassion and a sportswriter's eye for detail, and with countless personal moments and rarely seen photographs, Elston is the touching story of one of baseball's great players.

About the Author
Arlene Howard is Elston Howard's widow and was by his side throughout his career. Unlike many baseball wives of the day, she took an active role in supporting her husband and managing his ambition. In 2001, she teamed up with New York Post writer Ralph Wimbish to write the first edition of Elston, entitled Elston and Me. Ralph Wimbish has been a sports editor for the New York Post for over 25 years, writing articles on a range of sports topics from baseball to golf.
