DVD Reviews of Baseball - A Film By Ken Burns
DVD Review: my husband is going to love it.
Summary: 4 Stars
my husband loves base ball, so

DVD Review: Necessarily Selective but Wonderful
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm watching "Baseball" again this month. I watched it for the first time a few years ago and thought it wonderful then. Still is. I'm enjoying it all over again. As for those reviewers who are disappointed because the series concentrates so much on NY and Boston teams, I can understand why they might want to see more about their own cities' teams. But let's face it, folks, you've got to make some choices and was Burns supposed to concentrate on the teams below the contenders with some of the less talented players in Philadelphia, Minneapolis, etc? There are parts of the series anyway about the Kansas City Monarchs, Pittsburgh Grays, Cincinatti, etc. For the period before 1970s, white baseball's history was primarily an Eastern NY City-Boston affair. Not Burns' fault ML expansion didn't occur earlier, baseball wasn't integrated sooner, or that teams elsewhere often weren't very good. Perhaps Burns needs to add another post-1990s 10th inning to capture the greater geographical distribution of white baseball more recently; but for what's there now on the history of earlier baseball, it's wonderful and should be enjoyed.DVD Review: If you didn't love baseball before, you will now
Summary: 5 Stars
After watching this beautifully crafted documentary on the history of baseball, I realized how much I missed the "old" baseball. I can remember going to Yankee Stadium on a lovely June or July afternoon with tens of thousands other fans, and having a grand old time and it only cost $5 to $10. There was excitement, cheering, jeering, and so much fun. The games lasted only a couple hours, unlike today's marathons. And everyone, from kids to oldtimers, had their ears glued to their radios come still-warm September, when the World Series were played. It wasn't played in freezing weather with snow flurries. Ken Burns has brought back those sweeter, simpler days, and I must say, there was more than a few times when I found I had tears in my eyes.DVD Review: Worth watching over and over again!
Summary: 5 Stars
As a 13 year old, I remember watching the original airing on PBS in 1994. There was no World Series that year and this series completely captivated me. I'm sure everyone has said enough about the 9 innings, but it's the bonus "extra innings" disc that contains some hidden treasures including Charlie Rose's interviews with Bob Costas, Rachel Robinson, and Bob Gibson.
I can't wait until Ken releases the added innings in 2010 covering the steroids era, McGwire/Sosa's HR chase, etc.
DVD Review: I love the Price.
Summary: 5 Stars
I wanted this Series for a long time and the Prices were out of my Budget as high as $500 and up. The lowest was $50.00 more than Amazon's. Looking forward to playing them as soon as Baseball season is done.
Description of Baseball - A Film By Ken Burns
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.General DVDs
