Baseball: A Film by Ken Burns

[+ E.T.Bass]

Yes.  This documentary is 27 years old and I have never watched until now.

It is streaming on my service.

If you love history and love documentary film, this is a good choice.

I'm understanding how the phrase "American as baseball and apple pie" rings true.

Over the years one would hear how long ago the Cubs had won a World Series, in 1908, but never heard about the drama of the Cubs battling the NY Giants for the pennant that year.  Was pretty nutz.

Another film you might enjoy is The Battered Bastards Of Baseball. It streams on Netflix.

Thanks, I'll add it to my queue.

After two days of streaming I learned Ken Burns added 15 more years to the film, re-released in 2010. 

So much history!!
