It chronicles the story of baseball through 10 innings. The episodes are full of great forgotten baseball stories, such as Ty Cobb's feet first slides with the intention of kicking the player in the nuts or Tim Raines' head first slides so he wouldn't break his cocaine capsules in his back pocket.
Burn's has the best interviewees. He not only has players, coaches and journalists, he has fans from all walks of life.
The series is very long and boring at times, it is best to watch over a long period of time. It took nearly two months to watch the series.
The first inning is mostly introductory and discusses roots of baseball, which are unknown. If you're not interested in that part, go ahead and skip the inning, it is the worst episode by far. The tenth inning is the best.
Rating: B+
It is a lot of time to dedicate to a history series, but it is suppose to be a time capsule for the sport. It is very well done and detailed, baseball fans will enjoy it.
