I couldn't write a better recap of this documentary than IMDb reviewer 'ferguson-6', so I won't even try. He hits all the highlights of this film in such a way that it allows me to rest easy while you take a look at his comments. For my part, I thought this was a pretty comprehensive doc on the life and career of one Lawrence Peter Berra, affectionately nicknamed 'Yogi' after a New York Yankees teammate once remarked on how he sat in front of the dugout with his arms and legs crossed in a sitting position - "You look like a yogi". The film does its best to justify Berra as one of the best baseball players of all time, lovingly led by granddaughter Lindsay in a tribute to his career accomplishments that surpass almost all former and living players. His ten World Series rings alone (as a player) is a career milestone that won't be matched, but then you have to add three more as a coach and manager. The highlights of this documentary include Yogi's friendship and rivalry with Jackie Robinson, especially that steal of home plate in a World Series game where the controversy of the umpire's call still lives on. There's also that feud with George Steinbrenner that lasted for years, and of course, the perfect game pitched by Don Larsen in the 1956 World Series. And lest I forget, the 'Yogiisms' come fast and furious in the story, many of which you've probably heard and perhaps some you haven't. You don't have to be a baseball fan to appreciate this story, with family and friends alike lending their thoughts and warm-hearted comments about one of the greatest and underrated baseball players of all time.
