"Grandpa was a first-generation Italian immigrant - a machine gunner on a rocket boat during the invasion," said Lindsay Berra.
'It Ain't Over' is not just a baseball movie - it showcases Yogi's legacy on the field --- 10 World Series rings - the most of any player in MLB history. His stats won't be touched, but Lindsay finds that many of them are overlooked.
"I think when most people think of Yogi Berra, they think of the cartoon character or the little guy with big ears who said funny things," she said.
Berra's career spanned more than 43 years as a player, coach, and manager.
"He shook hands with Babe Ruth, played with Joe DiMaggio, managed Guidry, Mattingly - he is just this thread through so many decades of Yankees baseball," Lindsay added.
