The film also has some vast commentary interspersed through out all of the DVD’s. At the raze of each DVD is a trivia game based on the decade that the DVD covered.

While the movie is based for the most share on Original York teams this is truly a must for all baseball fans. There is no other collection of materials that covers baseball like this one does in terms of breadth and depth.

This site isn’t cheap, but it’s one of the best documentaries I’ve ever seen. Burns’ storytelling is always interesting, focusing on the evolution of not only the game of baseball, but in an indirect plot, American history as well. It is particularly meaningful that he interviewed some baseball greats (Williams, Mantle, Buck O’Neil) before they passed on. My only complaint is that the series stops at 1994. (I would worship to study a coda/epilogue made covering the achievements and scandals of the last 13 years.) If you are a baseball fan, this is defintely worth having. Some nice special features too.
