The best
This series was so interesting and so well done that I bought sets for two friend and three of my children. Not only did it cover baseball it covered Americana.

Inning 7 - The Capital of Baseball (NYC): 1950-1960
If you are not a fan of New York baseball--as in Yankees, Dodgers and Giants--then this "inning" of Ken Burns' classic documentary series on "Baseball" is not for you because those three teams dominate this episode the way they dominated the game in the 1950's. From ...

Mike Barnicle, Mary Pratt (III)

Turner Home Entertainment, 1994

Inning 5 - Shadow Ball (The Negro Leagues): 1930-1940
In many ways "Shadow Ball" is my favorite episode in Ken Burns' celebrated documentary mini-series on "Baseball." From the very first "inning," Burns has been intent on setting up the greatest moment in the history of the game, when Jackie Robinson stepped on the ...

Mike Barnicle, Mary Pratt (III)

Turner Home Entertainment, 1994

1st Inning - Our Game: Beginnings to 1900
Ken Burns' "Baseball" series begins by finding a simple metaphor in Ebbets field: built in Flatbush on a garbage dump called Pigtown where the Brooklyn (Trolley) Dodgers would play and some of the greatest moments in baseball history would take place, including the day ...

Mike Barnicle, Mary Pratt (III)

Turner Home Entertainment, 1994

Inning 8 - A Whole New Ballgame: 1960-1970
"A Whole New Ballgame" always strikes me as being substantially different from the preceding seven "innings" of Ken Burns' celebrated "Baseball" documentary. Not only does it covers players and games I remember from my youth, most of the photographs and film clips are ...

Mike Barnicle, Mary Pratt (III)

Turner Home Entertainment, 1994

9th Inning - Home: The Modern Era
By the time you get to the final "innings" of Ken Burns' celebrated "Baseball" documentary it is so strange to see the game played in color, you are so used to the black & white photos and film of the earlier volumes. We are now up to the point where we clearly ...
