Saw Part 1 last night, and Part 2 starts in about half an hour (out west...)
Thought it was well done, but was disappointed in the amount of air time given to Griffey Jr. He was the greatest player of the era on which they are focusing. But I guess it makes for better TV to focus on McGwire, Sosa, Bonds and the whole steroid thing.
Guess that's what happens when you play in the small Seattle and Cincinnati markets. So much attention is always lavished on New York and Chicago... even in the original series, very little was said about the Big Red Machine (which was arguably one of the top 3 dynasties of all time).
Another poster (on the Card side) expressed disappointment that Harmon Killebrew was never even mentioned. I'm sure there were other omissions. Can't please 'em all I guess. It is an entertaining series... just a bit frustrating for fans of the smaller market teams.
