NFL Helmets | Home » » Baseball - A Film By Ken Burns | | | | | | | Product Promotions: | | | | | Description: | | Ken Burns tops himself with this epic of American history, told in "nine innings," with a skilled narration by John Chancellor and the voices of Paul Newman, Jason Robards, Billy Crystal, and other stars. The series spans 150 years, starting with the myth-debunking tale of baseball's true beginnings -- when it was a game "one degree above mayhem." Then follow the growth of America's National Pastime through the decades of glory and record-setting achievements, as well as the scandals, the bigotry, and the big money. The series portrays the game as a mirror of America itself -- the passions, prejudices, and ambitions that have shape the country. | | | Features: | |

 Quintessential documentary on baseball.Aug 31, 2010
Absolutely awesome, indepth documentary. I only have one complaint: It seems that it is a rather biased view of the Dodgers move to Los Angeles. I don't see how a documentary can be made on this subject with absolutely no mention of Robert Moses and the battle between him and O'Malley. Other than that, I love this set and watch it over and over again.
 Simply stupendousAug 17, 2010
It brought me back to loving and following the game I loved for years. For that alone it is worth everything bright and beautiful.

simply the bestAug 01, 2010
I along with over 100+ million baseball lovers may know a lot on current events in baseball but the game we love today has a history that many do not know about, Ken Burns has a collection here that will absolutely entertain you and every baseball lover for hours and hours, from the very birth of American baseball to around 1994, sure there has been plenty of baseball history made after '94 ( Red and White Sox WS. champs) but it pales in comparison of the yesteryear.
You can now watch the teams your father watched when he was a little kid growing up along with the teams his father and his fathers father followed.
This is the best package value on American baseball history anywhere, I have done a lot of research and have found nun better than this.
If you are a lover of baseball history this is a must for your Christmas stocking.There is nothing better!
