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)

I will buy the whole set, after seeing this one.
Two hours of the most moving sports video I have ever seen. Even my wife, who hates baseball, has asked me to watch this with her--for the third time.

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

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 ...
