Emmy-winning director John Turturro is directing an MLB documentary on Yankees legend Joe Torre, tracing his journey from Brooklyn beginnings to Hall of Fame greatness.
In New York, for more than four decades, Joe Torre lived the kind of baseball story that defined the Yankees’ golden era. The Hall of Famer, who managed 4,272 games before capturing his first championship in 1996, is now ready to revisit that long and emotional journey.
At 85, Torre will share the untold struggles that shaped his career and the path that turned his Yankees into one of Major League Baseball’s greatest dynasties. Emmy-winning filmmaker John Turturro has been selected to direct a new feature documentary on Torre’s life and career.
The project, a collaboration between MLB Studios, Motto Pictures, and BD4, will chronicle the Yankees legend’s transformation from a shy Brooklyn teenager with a turbulent childhood into one of baseball’s most respected figures.
Torre’s rise to Yankees greatness defied all odds.
