Yogi Berra Documentary ‘It Ain’t Over’ in the Works

An upcoming documentary, entitled It Ain’t Over, about the incredible life and career of baseball Hall of Famer, Yogi Berra is currently in production. The legendary New York Yankee was arguably the greatest catcher to ever play the game, but his skill on the field has long been overshadowed by his off-the-field persona. Known mostly today for his quips, or “Yogisms,” people have forgotten that he won ten World Series Championships, three MVP awards, and appeared in 18 All-Star Games. Later in life, Berra founded the Yogi Berra Museum & Learning Center to pass his values of respect, perseverance, sportsmanship, and excellence on to a new generation of fans. 

The production is working in close connection with the Berra family. “We are very excited that these talented filmmakers have decided to make a film that will remind people just how great our dad was as a ballplayer and as a person while at the same time introducing him to a new generation of baseball fans,” says Larry Berra, the oldest of the Yankee great’s three sons. “We want our dad to be remembered for more than just his famous sayings.” 

Mike and Peter Sobiloff are producing. Award-winning filmmaker Sean Mullin is directing. Peter Sobiloff was most recently an executive producer of the Oscar-winning short Skin and is an executive producer on the feature version of the film, which will be released by A24 in July.
