Film Review: ‘It Ain’t Over’: Yogi Berra Documentary Is a Home Run

Mark Jackson
Updated:
As a football fan, I was always primarily aware of the late Yogi Berra as an American cultural icon. My baseball-fan dad also knew the man born as Lorenzo Pietro Berra for the legendary New York Yankee ballplayer he was. Sports documentary “It Ain’t Over,” Sean Mullin’s somewhat hagiographic tribute to Berra, lays it all out for everyone to finally be able to separate where the athlete Yogi Berra ended, and the  cultural phenomena Yogi Berra began. Much like “Facing Nolan,” it’s jam-packed with stories from family members, fellow major league players, and celebrities who collectively raise a glass to the iconic sports hero.
