Worth the time to watch.

Did not realize he was as accomplished on the diamond as he was.

Yes, it was pretty good
Sounds like he was the glue to that dominant run the Yankees had in that era
Had no idea the son had the drug issues and was part of the Pirates for awhile

No one goes to that restaurant any more. It’s too crowded.

I hate playing games on the West Coast. It gets late early out there.

One of my favorite stories was Yogi gave his wife a present and signed the card Yogi Berra.

His wife said she asked him, "how many Yogis do you think I know?"

Watched it. Liked the info on Yogi. Hated the butthurt bitchings from the kids & granddaughter that Yogi was slighted in any way. They just pissed because they aren't getting enough attention.

Also, Dale sure thought highly of himself as a ballplayer...in essence, he thought he would have been an All-Star SS if not for his drug addiction...all because he had some month long hot streak one season. Unless he was on drugs his entire 10 year career (played parts of the last 3 years only because of Yogi's connections), I don't share such sentiment.

Agreed. I thought it was great and he is truly an American Icon and glad they shared he is an all time great player and manager!

However, they were mad he was not included as one of the 4 greatest living (in 2015) baseball players of all time... Mays, Hank Aaron, Johnny Bench and Sandy Koufax were picked.

Only guy he has a argument against is Koufax.

Sandy was one of the most dominating pitchers in MLB history. Both Mays and Aaron said he was the best pitcher they faced as hitters.

Saw it 3 weeks ago and completely disagree. That girl stood up for Yogi. The family stood by his wish to stay away and silent for years. Years. It took a tiny spark for what happened next... I won't ruin it.

I’ve got 30 minutes left in the show. Does it spell out why they’re speaking out now?
