The Tenth Inning

I'm halfway "home"on Ken Burns' latest. I'll let the PBS write-up tell the story:

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.

Good stuff. How do I know? It got my daughter to close her laptop and watch just one screen. If you're looking to get primed for baseball's post-season ESCAPE find a repeat airing of The Tenth Inning on your favorite PBS station.
