If you are a die hard baseball fan this is what you would love to have for your collection. Ken burns did a excellent job for this series. It touches everything you need to know about the history of the game. Also it will touch all your hearts from Ty Cobb, Babe Ruth and Jackie Robinson too present. I think every BASEBALL FAN should have this. Thank you Ken Burns.
More than 10 years after this was released this set by Burns does a great job of covering the history of baseball in this country from the 1840's to the mid 1990's. The pictures and stories make for great entertainment, and really provide a great perspective and historical backdrop to some of the issues one would hope get attention by Burns in some future update---"the clear", steroids, baseball's cover-up and subsequent outcomes. Still a great set and one that will remain a real must for baseball fans- was really worth the investment!
