Field of Dreams

Missing baseball? So are we. Until we can go to the ballpark, we are sharing some free substitutes to remind you why you love the game so much. Click Here to watch the Ken Burns’ documentary about baseball. This is a rare and great opportunity to see a terrific story told by one of the best documentarians around. "Baseball" originally aired in September 1994. The nine-part series -- divided into "innings," in the spirit of a baseball game -- introduces viewers to baseball and traces the history of the sport from its origins in the 1800s up through the early 1990s.
