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 ...

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.

The Candidate

Robert Redford, Peter Boyle

Warner Home Video, 1996

MITT ROMNEY?
Redford in his prime was hard to beat; on the screen or in this film. The California Democrats have no one to run against 3 term incumdent Crocker Jarman for a seat in the U.S. Senate. Redford reluclantly agrees, on the provision that he be allowed to be "his own ...

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 ...

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 ...
