Yogi Berra It Ain't Over Documentary on Netflix

[JollyElm]

I've always been intrigued how his card went from full Manager in 1964 to Player (and coach) the following year. Wonder if that's happened with anyone else in the more modern era?

I wish there was still only the 3 networks and then we could all watch together. NO Netflix here. Can't have all these services : Netflix, Hulu, Disney + , Cable, Sling, Dish, ESPN, MLB , NFL Network, Apple TV, Prime TV, Google, etc , etc. Missing a lot of shows and games I use to watch. Hope Yogi gets to Youtube.

I saw it a week ago and then last night. It was deja vu all over again.

Was lucky enough to bump into Yogi and Carmen at some charity events. I was going back and forth to St. Louis a lot at the time on business and asked him where I should eat on The Hill. He gave me the name of a great old school red sauce joint. I dragged a bunch of people there and Yogi's picture was on every wall 4 times. I specifically ordered the friend ravioli that he reccomended. Sort of a mid west thing that you don't see a whole lot on the east coast. Was so cool being there with a recommendation from the man himself.

He, Carmen, Dale, Michael (I think) and the entire family were extraordinarily generous with local charities. Just great people.

Bump since I just watched this. So many interesting angles in the film. I won't spoil it for those who have not watched it.

Just looked and Yogi actually had 9 ABs for the 65 Mets. I did not know that he did play in a handful of games for them while serving as a coach.

Whitey Ford is a p-coach in 1964 and a pitcher only in 1965, which is close

The Saint of Second Chances
Mike Veeck grew up in the shadow of his hustler father, Hall of Fame baseball owner Bill Veeck. The Veeck name became both legendary and notorious in professional baseball as they introduced the fun at ballparks — giveaways, theme nights, fireworks, and more. But it all came to a screeching halt when Mike blew up his father's career. Exiled from the game he loved, the younger Veeck spent the next few decades clawing his way up from rock bottom, determined to redeem himself. After receiving distressing news, what started as a journey to reclaim the family legacy, became an opportunity to appreciate that family more fully. Directed by Academy Award winner Morgan Neville (20 Feet From Stardom) and Jeff Malmberg (Marwencol), narrated by Jeff Daniels, and featuring Charlie Day as a younger Veeck, The Saint of Second Chances is wildly unexpected, full of heart, and keeps you laughing through a comeback story unlike any other.

The air must have been dry at 30,000', as I watered up a couple times. He was a one of a kind man. Underrated player, and an even better human. Learned a bunch of things that I never knew.

Watch it however you can, even on a plane.

Watched it at the Harris Theater on Liberty Avenue in Pittsburgh and picked up thirteen of these. One I gave to a friend. The toning on the edges is part of the production of the lobby card. Enjoyable film.
