Of the Thousands of Ball-Players to Play "The Game", it Truthfully can be Said...
There was None Like "Yogi Berra".
His "Stats" make You do a Double Take.... Like Catching "Double-Headers", Say What? Yogi was Anything but Delicate.
Even if He Didn't "Catch" the 2nd Game, He would be in the Line-Up in Left-Field.
3 MVP Awards in 10 Years, and those World Series Rings (1 for each finger)..."Forget About It".
Yogi Berra was a Personality, a Character, Larger than Life, a Walking "Quotable" Wordsmith, Worthy of "Will Rogers".
A Folk Hero for Yankee Fans for sure, and Perhaps Others, Maybe Even "Red-Sox" Die-Hards..
He Looked Awkward in Uniform and On the Field, Especially at Bat, but it was All an Illusion...He was "All-Time" one of the Most Difficult Batters to "Strike-Out".
This Documentary is a "Set-the-Record-Straight" Exercise and Does So by Referencing the Records.
When "Yogi" was Left-Out of the "Greatest Living Baseball Players" Pageant, it Upset the Berra Family and this Film is, in Part, an Answer.
When the Animated Studio Hana-Barbara Found Out that Yogi Never "Copyrighted" His Nick-Name (why would he?)...
"YOGI BEAR" Hit the TV Airwaves and was a Modest Hit.
This Lovable Film also Tries to "Rehabilitate" Yogi's Image from the Likable "Goof", that to be Fair He Promoted and Pushed to the Limit Himself, but the Point is...
In Doing so Folks Forgot just How Great and Essential a Player He was to All Those Great "Yankee Teams".
Yogi Berra was the Kind of Player and "Man" that Really Needs No Embellishment of Hyperbole.
He's was a One-of-a-Kind "Showman" and "Ball-Player" that is the Bona-Fide "REAL-DEAL".
A Great "Documentary" and "Sports-Bio" that Pays Tribute to an Original, an Icon, a True Hero, and Role Model.
