I thoroughly enjoy Ken Burns' Baseball. Yes it has slight inaccuracies, but it's a fantastic piece all around, and really sets the bar for Baseball documentaries. I love his deep dive into the Negro Leagues.

Seen a few of the docs listed, all were good.

One not mentioned was Fear Strikes Out about Jim Piersal

Another vote for Baseball by Ken Burns. In fact, I am watching the 4th Inning right now!

Love watching this one.

I'll have to checkout some of the other's you guys mentioned, especially 'Fastball' and 'No-No'.

Thanks to all for the suggestions.
