Documentary Screening and Q&A Set for June 29 at Yogi Berra Museum & Learning Center

LITTLE FALLS, N.J., June 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The Yogi Berra Museum & Learning Center in Little Falls, NJ, will host a special tribute event, Legends Remembered Live: A Tribute to Yogi Berra, on Sunday, June 29, at 2:00 PM, honoring the life, legacy, and faith of one of baseball's most beloved figures.

Presented in proud partnership with Catholic Cemeteries of the Archdiocese of Newark, this exclusive event will feature a newly re-edited short documentary chronicling the Hall of Famer's career, Catholic faith, and enduring impact on the game and his family.

In Legends Remembered, we journey back to one of the most iconic moments in baseball history: Don Larsen’s perfect game in the 1956 World Series, forever immortalized by the image of Yogi Berra leaping into his arms. But this story goes beyond the box score. Larry Berra, son of Hall of Famer Yogi Berra, shares heartfelt and never-before-heard memories of that legendary day. Father Costa and Larry discuss the connections between Babe Ruth, Yogi Berra, Lou DiMaggio, Ted Williams, and more.

This new documentary features rare photos, archival footage and a heartfelt conversation between Larry Berra, Yogi’s eldest son, and Father Gabriel Costa, an Archdiocese of Newark priest and Sabermetrics pioneer from West Point. Filmed at Gates of Heaven Cemetery, Yogi’s final resting place, this powerful film explores #8’s iconic career, personal faith and lasting impact on the game and his family. Stick around after the screening for a live Q&A with Larry Berra and Father Costa afterwards.

The film features rare archival footage and personal insights from Larry Berra, Yogi's eldest son, and Father Gabriel Costa, a priest of the Archdiocese of Newark. Costa is a mathematics professor at the United States Military Academy at West Point and the creator of the first college-level Sabermetrics course.

The documentary was filmed on location at Gate of Heaven Cemetery, Yogi Berra's final resting place, and offers a touching exploration of #8's journey both on and off the field.

Following the screening, guests are invited to stay for a live Q&A panel featuring Larry Berra and Father Costa, moderated by the film's director and co-producer, Max Martinez-Almenas (Catholic Cemeteries). Co-producer and editor Enrico Bolognino (EB Media) will also be present.
