not just a game
This series is the best mini-series I have ever seen. I was a casual baseball fan before I saw it, and after seeing it one inning a time over the course of several weeks I could not wait for the season to start. That was just about 3 years ago, and I am now 40.It takes you through an entire range of emotions as it depicts a general history of baseball. There isn't a lot of in depth material and its scope is limited, but consider that baseball has been in existence for well over 100 years by the time it was made, and explain how one would cover any more in the time he was alloted.I recommend this not just for baseball fans, but anyone interested in American history. Baseball is the focus, but as often it is used as a parallel and a metaphor to culture in its time.
