Baseball has been part of the fabric of America for over 200 years, and no other sport quite matches the traditions it's built up over time. In the ambitious and critically acclaimed 1994 film Making of Baseball: A Film by Ken Burns, the game and all that it entails is examined in great detail. Burns has left little out of this project, which features all the heroes, legends, scandals, and the grand events that make up the history of baseball. He captures the emotion that is such an important part of the sport, and gives a unique overview of this All-American pastime.
