Playball! Ken Burns smacks a home run 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 beginning then follows 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. Includes the documentary The Making of Baseball. Baseball features narration by Garrison Keillor.
