OT - Baseball Documentaries
I am heading out on a business trip next week and wanted to load up my ipod with some movies. Other than Ken Burns' Baseball Series any other good Baseball Documentaries that you would suggest?

The Hank Greenburg doc has been mentioned a few times lately. A freebie on Netflix.

I watched "The Life and Times of Hank Greenberg" on Netflix last year and enjoyed it.

There's a video of "The Glory of Their Times"... it's a great thing to see. It doesn't displace Mr. Ritter's book, nor the 4 CD set, but I find it a pleasure to watch.

I enjoyed "Cobb", although it is not a doc. I also watched "A Player to Be Named Later" which is a doc about the modern day minor leagues.

The HBO "When It Was A Game" trilogy is pretty solid. And the Baseball's Golden age episodes are pretty good as well.

I agree, I really enjoyed When It Was A Game, all 3. I'd like to edit it down one day, cut out the Clown Prince of Baseball stuff, maybe a couple of the song montages... I like the film clips but the songs are too 'cute'. Totally worth watching, though.
There's some series that's about a Golden Era of baseball, when the Yankees, Giants, and Dodgers were all in New York, it's about baseball in the last half of the 40's up to when the wrecking ball bashes Ebbett's Field, as I recall. |

Good call. I loved that series. The first two were the best.
