Billy Martin Finally Gets His Spotlight: Netflix to Release a Gripping New Documentary on the Fiery and Legendary Yankees Manager Who Defined an Era in Bronx Baseball
Baseball fans, especially those who bleed Yankee blue, are in for a nostalgic and dramatic ride—Netflix has officially announced a documentary chronicling the turbulent, triumphant, and unforgettable life of New York Yankees legend Billy Martin. Known for his fierce competitiveness, fiery personality, and rollercoaster relationship with owner George Steinbrenner, Martin’s story is baseball folklore—and now it’s heading to the screen like never before.
Set for release in late 2025, the Netflix doc promises to dive deep into Martin’s storied career as both a player and a manager. From his early days scrapping in the Yankees’ infield alongside Mickey Mantle, to becoming one of the most iconic—and controversial—managers in baseball history, the documentary will explore his five dramatic stints managing the Yankees, his notorious ejections, and the volatile love-hate dynamic with Steinbrenner that became part of Yankee Stadium’s lore.
Featuring never-before-seen footage, exclusive interviews with former players, friends, rivals, and historians, and a detailed look into his off-field demons and tragic death in 1989, this documentary aims to paint a full portrait of a man whose fire burned too bright for the game to contain.
For die-hard Yankee fans, it’s more than a sports documentary—it’s a walk through one of the most dramatic chapters in baseball history. Whether you loved him or questioned his methods, Billy Martin embodied the chaos and charm of the Bronx Bombers in a way no one else could.
Don’t miss what’s sure to be one of the most talked-about sports documentaries in years. Yankees Universe, mark your calendars—Billy’s coming back to the spotlight, and this time, the whole world is watching.
