It Ain't Over

Starring: Lindsay Berra and Billy Crystal

Product Description

Lawrence Peter "Yogi" Berra is one of baseball's greatest. He amassed ten World Series rings, 3 MVP awards and 18 All-Star Game appearances. He caught the only perfect game in World Series history. Yet for many his deserved stature was overshadowed by his simply being himself and being recognized more for his unique personality, TV commercial appearances and unforgettable "Yogi-isms," initially head-scratching philosophical nuggets that make a lot more sense the more you think about them. In telling the whole story, It Ain't Over gives Berra his due in following the life of a savvy, commanding, bad-ball hitting catcher with a squat frame but also a D-Day veteran, loving husband and father and, yes, product endorser and originator (mostly) of his own brand of proverbs now ingrained into everyday life. Granddaughter Lindsay Berra tells his story along with his sons, former Yankee teammates, players he managed, writers, broadcasters, and admirers (such as Billy Crystal), plus photos and footage on and off the diamond. Berra famously said, "I'd be pretty dumb if I started being something I'm not," and It Ain't Over lovingly makes clear he stayed who he was for the benefit of baseball and everyone else.

Yogi Berra Epic!

In 2015 at the MLB All-Star Game, the four greatest living baseball players were honored: Sandy Koufax, Hank Aaron, Willie Mays, and Johnny Bench. They whiffed on the fifth: Yogi Berra. His heart and persona were so much larger than life, too many fans seem to have forgotten he was a legendary player and manager with more World Series appearances than the other four combined. This unforgettable documentary produced by one of his grandchildren will remind you why we must never forget Yogi or the incomparable impact he had on the game we love so much.
