- Reviewed in the United States on January 21, 2025Love the way that Ken Burns presents the information
- Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2024I got this for my husband because he watches it every year after the World Series when it’s on TV. He was complaining about all the commercials that it had in 2024 since it wasn’t on PBS. No more commercials.

- Reviewed in the United States on June 22, 2015I grew up around lots of people who KNEW baseball lore and were of course very up to date on what was happening day by day during any particular season. What often baffled me was "how could they know all of this stuff about things that happened in games SO many years ago; a particular play in a particular inning?" HOW? Well, when I watched this entire documentary from start to finish I was given the gift of understanding the answer to my big question about people who love baseball and why. I have a vastly deeper appreciation for the game now than I ever did, even though I never had the hand-eye coordination to be any kind of a player myself at any point in my life! It's nice if you ARE good at ball playing, but I learned from this superb work by Burns that you don't have to be a "player" to truly love the game and understand why millions of others love it just as much. I gave this set with its new 10th inning to my 18 year old son (who is a great ball player) as a high school graduation gift. He's so young that I'm sure even he doesn't know all that he'll learn in the time he invests watching and enjoying this fine program. This program was a gift to myself and I know it's a great gift for my son. I believe that the gift I'm giving him here is the invitation to understand that now HE is connected to this great piece of American history; he belongs to something wonderful in our culture. That makes me very happy! Private message to Ken: Uh, look Ken, I know you're tired of being asked to make yet another and perhaps another show (which would have no end in sight) about baseball as its history has continued. Relax, my friend. You've done enough. As I heard a brilliant man deliver the commencement address to a group of graduating Yale Law Students once, he told the group that though he knew they were all energized to go out into the world to try to save it on their own, that this just wasn't the practical way to approach their forthcoming work as lawyers. He said to them: ".....Just do some of it. If everyone in this class will understand and just do 'some' of the work, eventually all of the important work will get done." Great advice. You've done your part Ken. From this point on, let someone else do something else with baseball if they want to. Unload yourself. You did your part, and you made a great program! Let the next person live up to what you've already made, which is a masterful piece of historical work. And by the way, I'm a Yankee fan. I know you like the Red Sox, and that's OK! They're two fine teams with histories that are the stuff of legend. Your documentary is great because it has ALL the stuff of legend, and there are some really great lessons about life in every inning. My compliments to you and your staff.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2024I recently placed an order for Ken Burns Baseball documentary as a Christmas gift several weeks before Christmas. It was severely delayed and ultimately I reached out after Christmas has passed and I still hadn’t received anything. I requested a refund through Amazon and it was approved. Then, Torsion reached out and admitted there was some sort of shipping issue and my package was lost of never picked up by USPS. Regardless of whether it was Torsion Entertainment’s fault or the fault of USPS, Torsion apologized and accepted responsibility. They let my refund be issued and still said they would ship out my prefer, free of charge. I received my order today. I’ve been in business for years and mistakes happen with every company, but the willingness to admit fault, even if it wasn’t on them, and to make it right, says everything I need to know about their company and how they do business. Not only do I not care about the original issue anymore, I now have the utmost respect for this company and would gladly purchase from them again as well as recommend them to anyone. It’s just refreshing in this day and age to see company’s have this level of customer service. Thank you!!
- Reviewed in the United States on June 29, 2013Ken Buns Baseball is twenty - two hour and twenty - five minutes and if you add in the bonus features then it is twenty - four hours and forty - minutes. Innings 1 through 9 debuted on September 18, 1994 and Inning 10 debuted on September 28, 2010. This is an extensive piece of work starting around the 1840s and ending in 2009. It covers the origins of the game, the different leagues through the years, the barring of black players, the famous Black Sox Scandal, some of the greatest and not so great plays in the history of the game. It also covers some of the greatest World Series games as well. People like Ted Williams, Mickey Mantle, Bill Lee, Joe Torre, Ichiro and Pedro Martinez give some insights about the game. Innings 1 through 9 does a great job of a chronological history of the game. When you get to Inning 10 however, it tends to jump around a bit and Inning 10 is the only one to have two discs devoted to it as well as bonus features. Part of me wish I only bough Innings 1 through 9. Ken Buns Baseball gets an AAAA++++.

I remember watching this on PBS when it first came out. Ken Burns does an excellent job of capturing the history of baseball. A must for every baseball fan. Product came on time and in excellent condition.

KonMaxReviewed in Germany on November 30, 2020
4.0 out of 5 stars Baseball: Videos von Ken Burns sind toll. Kassette ist rechtzeitig angekommen.
Was in der Produktbeschreibung nicht sehr klar und deutlich gemacht wird: Videos werden nur mit Regionalklasse 1 (USA) ausgeliefert. Deshalb in Europa/Deutschland zunächst mal Enttäuschung, da der Player die DVD's nicht abspielte. Mußte mir noch externes Laufwerk für den Mac kaufen, um Filme betrachten zu können. Ist aber alles der Mühe wert. Freue mich auf die vergnüglichen Stunden mit Ken Burns Meisterwerk.
Herausgabe der Videos auch mit Regionalklasse 2 wäre toll, es gibt auch in Europa Baseball-Fans!

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful
The second part of Ken Burns' marvelous epic American trilogy - coming between The Civil War and Jazz - and the only one of the three not to be shown on the Beeb. For my money, all three are among the finest historical documentaries ever made. The original Baseball series was in nine parts - referred to as innings, of course - and took us from the sport's beginnings up to 1992. This set includes The Tenth Inning, taking us up to 2009, which Burns made with Lynn Novick. Baseball is well worth watching even if you don't like baseball - if you love it, as I do, this is heaven.

It's simply the best documentary on baseball and indeed any sport, bravo Ken Burns.
