The Life and Times of Hank Greenberg
Ken Burns tops himself with this epic of American history, told in “nine innings,” with a skilled narration by John Chancellor and the voices of Paul Newman, Jason Robards, Billy Crystal, and other stars. The series spans 150 years, starting with the tale of baseball’s true beginnings. Then follow the growth of America’s National Pastime through the decades of glory and record-setting achievements, as well as the scandals, the bigotry, and the big money. The series portrays the game as a mirror of America itself — the passions, prejudices, and ambitions that have shape the country.
