Editorial Review: 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. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Baseball: The Story of the Uniquely American Game by the Consummate American Storyteller Ken Burns uses the nine innings of a baseball game to tell the story of the game as only he can. Amazing imagery -- from still photographs of the game's roots, enhanced by the "Ken Burns Effect," to remarkable film footage -- is wed to Burns's trademark soundtrack lyricism and John Chancellor's wonderful narration of the Geoffery Ward script. If you like the game you'll like the series. If you love the game and haven't seen the series, you've waited long enough. And if you're not a baseball fan, ... Read More Rating: - The Old Ball GameOnly the sport of baseball could lend itself (via its long, rich heritage) to a Ken Burns-style documentary. Of course, Burns nails it once again. Though not as emotionally touching as his Civil War or World War II documentaries, Baseball captures the essence of America's pastime. From Walter Johnson, Babe Ruth, and Ty Cobb to Willie, Mickey, and the Duke, to Yaz, Pete Rose, Mick Schmidt, and everyone in between, Burns recounts all the rousing stories that old fans will recite from ... Read More Rating: - The Usual Burns' Spin, but Outstanding NonethelessThe sheer magnitude of this set makes it worth 5 stars. Of course Burns beats us over the head w/ the racial angle, but that's Burns. If you're from NY, you'll get a lot of satisfaction from the New York bias. The cinematography is often stunning. Look for the Babe hitting a HR in slo-mo. Doris Kearns Goodwin somehow slipped into the mix, as did Mario Cuomo. Buck O'Neill is always enjoyable. I like seeing Sandy Koufax's pitches in slo mo w/ the behind the plate angle. If you're a Red Sox fan, ... Read More Rating: - Ken Burns has done it again...For the Basball fan and intrigued viewer alike, this documentary is amazing. Ken Burns has a knack for documentaries, and this is no exception. He's outdone himself again! You will not be disappointed. This is not just another documentary on Baseball. Worth every penny.
