It was a beautiful Friday night leading into the holidays weekend at the legendary Distillery District. On the big screen was- It Ain’t Over.
Yogi Berra is a legendary baseball player who has achieved many impressive feats, including 10 World Series rings as a player, winning World Series as a coach, 3 MVP awards, and 18 All-Star Game spots. In attendance was former MLB catcher of the L.A.Dodgers and New York Mets-Mike Piazza.
But what truly sets him apart is his genuine charisma and enduring “Yogi-isms,” which have become part of everyday speech. It Ain’t Over is a film biography that pays tribute to Berra’s life as a catcher, D-Day veteran, husband, father, product endorser, and creator of his own brand of proverbs.
Written by his granddaughter Lindsay Berra, the book features insights from former teammates, players he managed, writers, broadcasters, his family including former pro player/son Dale Berra and admirers, as well as pictures and videos from on and off the field.
Berra played on amazing Yankee teams which included:Don Larsen,Mickey Mantle and Joe DiMaggio. Despite his fame, Berra remained true to himself, as he famously remarked, “When you come to a fork in the road, take it.” It Ain’t Over shows how Berra’s commitment to authenticity benefited baseball and everyone around him.A pioneer, advocate and an inspirational person.
