Yogi Berra documentary 'It Ain't Over' opens in DC, celebrating baseball legend of Yankee 'Yogi-isms [View all]
He won 10 World Series rings as a catcher for the New York Yankees and caught the only perfect game in World Series history in 1956, and yet, Yogi Berra is best remembered for the countless “Yogi-isms” we still quote today.
His remarkable life and career is chronicled in the new baseball documentary “It Ain’t Over,” which premieres in D.C. area movie theaters this week. The film is executive produced by Yogi’s granddaughter Lindsay Berra.
“I have to give full credit to our producer, Peter Sobiloff,” Berra told WTOP. “In the summer of 2018, he was dragged by his wife to go see the Mr. Rogers documentary and he ended up loving it. The next day was my grandfather’s museum golf outing and he saw my dad and uncles and said, ‘Hey, how come there’s no Mr. Rogers documentary but about your father?’ And they said, ‘Well no one’s ever made one,’ and he said, ‘Well can I?'”
The film features intimate interviews with Yogi’s three sons, Tim, Larry, and Dale Berra, who paint a picture of his off-field life. Born in St. Louis, Missouri, in 1925, Berra served in the Navy during World War II, participating in the D-Day invasion, before ultimately settling in Montclair, New Jersey for a 65-year romance with his wife Carmen.
