Summary

Ten World Series rings, three MVP awards, eighteen All-Star appearances. Yet when baseball named its "Greatest Living Ballplayers" in 2015, Yogi Berra wasn't among them.

His granddaughter Lindsay launched this documentary to restore what the world forgot. Beyond the Yogi-isms and cartoon caricature, this film reveals the savvy, commanding bad-ball hitter with unparalleled stats—a batting average and power combination with remarkably few strikeouts. Through interviews with family, former teammates like Joe Torre, baseball luminaries including Bob Costas and Vin Scully, and admirers like Billy Crystal, the documentary separates fact from myth.

An overdue tribute to a misunderstood icon whose personality became so famous it overshadowed one of baseball's greatest careers.
