The Event
This special occasion will begin at 2:00 PM, with a focus on Yogi's remarkable life, profound legacy, and devout faith. This tribute is being organized in proud partnership with the Catholic Cemeteries of the Archdiocese of Newark. The highlight of the event will be the premiere of a newly edited documentary that chronicles Berra's illustrious career, showcasing his significant contributions to baseball and his family life.
With a career that includes numerous records and accolades, Yogi Berra has left an indelible mark on the sport, capturing the hearts of fans both on and off the field. The documentary will transport viewers back to monumental moments, including October 8, 1956, when Don Larsen threw his perfect game—a moment immortalized by Yogi leaping into Larsen's arms in jubilant celebration.
The Documentary
In this documentary, titled
Legends Remembered, audiences will not only witness clips from thrilling games but will also be treated to touching anecdotes shared by Larry Berra, Yogi's son. Larry recounts personal memories from that unforgettable day, enriching the narrative with insights that fans have never heard before. The documentary dives deep into Yogi's impactful relationships with other baseball giants like Babe Ruth, Ted Williams, and Lou DiMaggio, connecting past legends with present memories.
Additionally, the film includes rare photos and footage that encapsulate both Yogi's athletic prowess and his personal faith—a testament to the man behind the iconic figure. The heartfelt discussion will also feature reflections from Father Gabriel Costa, a local priest with a keen interest in mathematics and Sabermetrics, providing unique insights into the intersections of faith and baseball. The film was poignantly filmed at Gates of Heaven Cemetery, Yogi’s final resting place, enveloping viewers in a reflective atmosphere that honors Berra’s lasting impact.
