Sony Pictures Classics has announced that it will release Sean Mullin’s documentary about baseball superstar Yogi Berra. It’s not overon May 12 in theaters in New York and Los Angeles and will be expanded in the following weeks.

The film is produced by Natalie Metzger, Matt Miller, Peter Sobiloff and Mike Sobiloff with Vanishing Angle and Off Media and Lindsay Berra as Executive Producer. It had its world premiere at the 2022 Tribeca Film Festival in the Spotlight Documentary section.

This is an intimate portrait of Lawrence Peter “Yogi” Berra (1925-2015), one of baseball’s greatest players. A brilliant catcher for the most storied franchise in Major League Baseball history, the New York Yankees, he racked up 10 World Series rings, three American League MVP honors and a whopping 18 All-Star Game appearances.

Berra, born in St. Louis, MO experienced battle in World War II and resumed his baseball career during New York’s golden era when three teams battled for dominance and in 1956 won the only perfect game in World Series history. .

For many observers of the national pastime, his prolific performances on the stadium were surpassed by his extremely attractive personality. Long before athletes endorsing products became commonplace, Berra starred in television commercials and connected with fans from all walks of life. His memorable “yogisms” were originally thought of as brain-bending philosophical nuggets, but became catchphrases that made him a national treasure and a lovable figure on the American pop culture landscape.

It’s not over highlights his many facets – loving husband and father, D-Day veteran, Hall of Fame ballplayer, beloved teammate, coach, manager, WA and sage. The documentary interweaves interviews with men and women whose paths Berra crossed, including Yankee legends Derek Jeter, Joe Torre, Mariano Rivera, Joe Girardi, Ron Guidry, Willie Randolph, Don Mattingly, Tony Kubek and Bobby Richardson, and friends Billy Crystal, Bob Costas, Vin Scully and Suzyn Waldman, and the Lindsay Berra family (granddaughter) and sons Tim, Larry and Dale.
