The film covers the years 1886 through around 1950 and is narrated by Billy Bob Thornton and Peter Coyote. It won two Emmys for film maker Larry Foley.

There is a great deal of coverage of Ruth, Wagner, Speaker and dozens of other Hall of Famers and their supporting casts. The film has become the rain delay favorite for the Fox regional networks.
