YOGI BERRA MOVIE

If you were a fan of the old New York Yankees and would like to watch a heartwarming movie (more a documentary) on the life of Yogi Berra, you can do so for free on your Century Village Cable TV now. Turn to the On-Demand channel and click on Free Movies. Next, click on the M-Z listing and go through the list to the end, where you will find “Yogi Berra.” The movie, 67 minutes long, is about Yogi’s life from when he was a youngster growing up in St. Louis through his years with the New York Yankees as a player, coach and manager. You will meet his family, his boyhood friends, and many fellow ballplayers. Billy Crystal and Bob Costa pay tribute to Yogi, as do many others. There are many "Berraisms" (malapropisms), such as his famous "It's de ja vu all over again," which will amuse you and endear the man to you. This is the best thing I have seen on Yogi Berra. I have no idea how long it will be offered on the On-Demand channel. It was on last night, when I watched it, and it is still listed today.

  1. Meanwhile, the Yogi Bear movie will be out this September, with Dan Aykroyd as the title character. In 3-D. I kid you not. http://yogibear.warnerbros.com/
