"He was the most overlooked superstar in the history of baseball." "He's just a gentle, kind soul..." Sony Pictures Classics has revealed an official trailer for It Ain't Over, a documentary about the baseball legend Yogi Berra. After initially premiering at the 2022 Nantucket Film Festival last year, it stopped by the Santa Barbara Film Festival earlier this year and will open in May in limited theaters. The documentary film gives "Yogi" Berra his due recapping the illustrious life of a "bad-ball hitting" catcher (for the Yankees), who was also a D-Day veteran, loving husband and father and, yes, product endorser and originator (mostly) of his own brand of proverbs that are now ingrained into everyday life. This features interviews with Billy Crystal, Bob Costas, Vin Scully, Derek Jeter, Joe Torre, Mariano Rivera, Joe Girardi, Ron Guidry, Willie Randolph, Don Mattingly, Tony Kubek, Bobby Richardson, Suzyn Waldman, and Lindsay Berra.

New York Yankees announcer John Sterling was rescued from Wednesday night’s catastrophic East Coast storm by fellow broadcaster Rickie Ricardo.
Ricardo, the Spanish-language broadcaster, explained Thursday that Sterling got stuck in his flooding car in New Jersey after driving home from work.
Talking to Wfan Thursday, Ricardo recounted that he’d stayed behind at the stadium for a Spanish postgame show while Sterling headed to Jersey. By the time Ricardo left the sports complex, water in the lobby was already up to his ankles and, as he was driving home to Jersey himself, his broadcast partner Suzyn Waldman called him to say Sterling was stuck in flooding just over the George Washington Bridge, which connects the neighboring states.
“I’ve seen how bad it gets flooded on River Road in Edgewater, and with the kind of rain we had, I can only imagine, so I said, ‘Suzyn, I’m on my way.
