Beloved Yankees catcher Jorge Posada has a memoir entitled "The Journey Home" coming out from the HarperCollins imprint Dey Books on May 12.
It will be available in both English- and Spanish-language versions.
"It's very much a father-and-son book," Lisa Sharkey, senior vice president and director of creative development at HarperCollins, said about the new book.
"It's about his own father Jorge Posada Sr. as well as [former Yankees manager] Joe Torre — who he always regarded as second father," said Sharkey.
Posada' s dad, described by Sharkey as "his toughest critic and greatest inspiration," escaped from Communist Cuba and raised his family in Puerto Rico.
And the book extends to Jorge's own two children, Jorge Luis and Paulina.
Said Posada, "When I was a young boy growing up in Puerto Rico, it was my dream to become a New York Yankee and play professional baseball in The Bronx.
"In my book, you will learn how — with the help of my family —that dream became a reality."
Posada, Derek Jeter, Andy Petitie and Mariano Rivera — the Core Four — were homegrown stars who teamed up to win four World Championships in five years in the late 1990s. Torre, Rivera and Jeter all published books after their Yankees years. Petite was the lone holdout, though he did publish a memoir in 2005 while still playing for the Yankees.
Sharkey said it was Posada who insisted that the book be published concurrently in English and Spanish.
