THE TENTH INNING is a two-part, four-hour documentary film directed by Ken Burns and Lynn Novick. A new chapter in Burns's landmark 1994 series, BASEBALL, THE TENTH INNING tells the tumultuous story of the national pastime from the 1990s to the present day.
Introducing an unforgettable array of players, teams and fans, the film showcases the era's extraordinary accomplishments and heroics — as well as its devastating losses and disappointments.
Combining extraordinary highlights, stunning still photographs, and insightful commentary by players, managers, and fans, THE TENTH INNING interweaves the story of the national pastime with the story of America.
Last year while on vacation, we took my then three-year old grandson to his first professional baseball game. Unfortunately, it was the Yankees' AAA affiliate, the Scranton Yankees, we saw. I say "unfortunately" because I am a lifelong Mets fan and can't stand the Yankees, but you take what you can get. Anyway, my grandson just loved the experience. This was baseball going back to its roots.
