This wonderful movie immerses you in baseball, and in sports. You will get a sense in this rather short film, just an hour long, of why for tens of millions of people sports is such a big part of their lives. This film does not deal with the fans - the fans who make it all possible - but you sense from the roar of the crowd or when the stadium fans are booing their own team, just what's at stake. Ken Burns' Baseball epic is not to be missed. But if you're not a sports fan and people you love are, watch this movie and in an hour you'll get the broad sweep of baseball history and present-day pro athletes, and you'll understand why sports matters so much to so many. Reviewer "stevrgy2000" better explains, in more detail, why this film is worth watching. I second that opinion.
