Suggestion/Recommendation for Net54 Members
Posted By: Peter
I just finished watching Ken Burns Baseball Documentary (9 Part/Innings/DVD's on the history of baseball) and I would like to recommend it to eveyone on this board. I am sure everyone would enjoy it and it would put a lot of meaning behind the pre-war card and memorabilia collections that you all enjoy. It is excellent! |

The whole thing used to be available free online (maybe YouTube) not sure if it's still there. Certainly worth the time. |

It is entertaining, but one must question it's accuracy, when it fails to pronounce one of baseball's all time greatest players (Wagner) name correctly. |

I watched it about 5 or 6 years ago.. definately an A+ documentary and a MUST see for any baseball fan! As I recall, the first 5 or 6 innings (CDs) documented pre wwii baseball, so the majority of the documentary is vintage! |

yep, bought the dvd set about 8 years ago(still havent watched the part on the seventies) I love the prewar sections the best,but I do question the overall acuracy, as Mr. Burns seems to have presented some of the legends as fact, ie. the Cobb/wagner base sliding incident, and the G.C. alexander strike out of Lazeri in the WS. |

"In our sundown perambulations of late, through the outer parts of Brooklyn, we have observed several parties of youngsters playing 'base', a certain game of ball.... Let us go forth awhile and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our close rooms.... the game of ball is glorious." Walt Whitman |

Edited because receiving poorly written, threatening e-mails just isn't any fun during the holiday season. |

The first 3 innings are the best in my opinion. |
