There are countless endearing stories about the late Yogi Berra. Now, a documentary tells one that has been forgotten: How good a player Yogi was.
When Lindsay Berra was in college in the late ’90s, she would call her grandparents nearly every night at 11:28 p.m. Her friends at North Carolina found it a bit odd.
“It was the only time where I could guarantee I would know where they were and I could check in and talk to them for five minutes,” Lindsay said.since he first became a major leaguer nearly eight decades ago. Now, Lindsay, her uncles, producers and directors want to tell one more that she feels is forgotten: How good a player Yogi was.
“I just think people have really forgotten how good he was,” Lindsay said. “And if I were to make a documentary, I would want to kind of remind people who did see him play and introduce him to folks who didn’t see him play because I really think that the Yogisms became larger than life and his personality eclipsed what he was able to do on the field.”, who were almost like another mom and dad for her.
Lindsay’s special bond with her grandfather is included as well, but, even if the point is to remember Yogi the player, it is impossible not to go into his personality in remembering him.
