DescriptionIn-depth profile of the legendary Babe Ruth, baseball’s first true superstar. "The Babe" triumphed over a rough childhood to become the best left-handed pitcher in the American league, the first homerun king, and one of the original inductees into the Baseball Hall of Fame. A star player with the Baltimore Orioles, Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees, Ruth won seven World Series titles, was the first player ever to hit 60 home runs in a season and ended his career with an astonishing 714 home runs, a record that stood for four decades. Through thrilling footage and exclusive interviews with his family, teammates and journalists, this powerful retrospective allows you to meet the athlete who has been called the greatest to ever play the game.

Description"They give you a round ball and a round bat and tell you to hit it square." - Ted Williams. Major League Baseball's best-of-the-best sluggers discussing hitting and fascinating aspect of their craft you have never imagined. Baseball's most popular and proficient hitting machines reveal the secrets to their successful split-second decisions and adjustments in the batter's box. This DVD includes an exclusive segment on the history of the MLB All-Star Game Home Run Derby. Featuring the legends of longball lore, this section celebrates the fence-bustin' strokes of McGwire, Griffey, Martinez, Thomas, Gonzalez and MLB's best home run bashers over the past 15 years. Amazon.comYou don't have to be a physics major to appreciate this insiders' look at the combination of science, mechanics, and instinct that has produced baseball's greatest hitters, past, present, and future. Mark McGwire may say, "You see [the ball], you hit it," but as the 45-minute program thrillingly demonstrates, it is not that easy. Hitters on Hitting fields an awesome lineup of Hall of Famers and contemporary superstars, from "students of the game" (Ted Williams, Wade Boggs, and Tony Gwynn, praised here by his peers as "the thinking man's hitter") to the "naturals" (Larry Walker, Ken Griffey Jr.). The legendary Williams, the last player to hit .400, notes that hitting a baseball is the game's "hardest single thing to do" (and, he adds, perhaps the reason why so many slugger wannabes eventually give up and retire to the golf course). Wade Boggs echoes, "You can do everything absolutely right, and still fail." Slow-motion batting practice footage and awe-inspiring game highlights complement the hitters' expert, albeit sometimes arcane, commentary. Adding their perspective are pitchers such as Mike Marshall and Randy Johnson, who discuss "the art of keeping the hitter guessing." There is also a humorous segment on unusual batting stances (Tony Batista) as well as unusual pre-bat rituals (Nomar Garciaparra). The DVD features a text history of one of the All-Star Game's most popular events, the Home Run Derby, as well as highlight footage from each Derby from 1989 to 2000. Another supplemental segment further explores the "Science of Swing." But as Cal Ripken Jr. states at one point, "It's too darn complicated to explain." So just relax and enjoy watching in action these "students" who are in a class by themselves. --Donald Liebenson

DescriptionKen Burns tops himself with this epic of American history, told in "nine innings," with a skilled narration by John Chancellor and the voices of Paul Newman, Jason Robards, Billy Crystal, and other stars. The series spans 150 years, starting with the myth-debunking tale of baseball's true beginnings -- when it was a game "one degree above mayhem." Then follow the growth of America's National Pastime through the decades of glory and record-setting achievements, as well as the scandals, the bigotry, and the big money. The series portrays the game as a mirror of America itself -- the passions, prejudices, and ambitions that have shape the country. Amazon.com essential videoAfter the national success of his 11-hour epic, The Civil War--the highest-rated miniseries in public-television history--many wondered if Ken Burns could capture the same energy and passion with smaller subjects. His reply, the 18-hour history of America's greatest sport, Baseball, not only quieted these worries, it also perhaps surpassed his prior achievement. Massive in scope (it covers more than 100 years), exhausting in detail, and filled with celebrities, journalists, politicians, historians, and the men who played the game, Burns's romantic love letter to the game achieves the impossible: even those who hate baseball can't help but become immersed in it. This is because Burns doesn't just detail the great players and the memorable plays and games; he also presents baseball as a cultural and social mirror, reflecting the beauty and hypocrisy of the nation that created it. Divided into nine innings, two hours each in length, the video examines complex social issues such as segregation, racial inequality (its section on Jackie Robinson, baseball's first African American player, should be required school viewing), labor battles between owners and players, politics, technology and gender conflicts, among others. Then, of course, there's fascinating footage and biographies on the players--troubled icons such as Babe Ruth and Ty Cobb, heroes such as Joe DiMaggio and Mickey Mantle, and tragic figures such as Pete Rose and Lou Gehrig--the men who, despite a rocky and often hypocritical history, constructed baseball's tradition and preserved its invincibility. --Dave McCoy

DescriptionOne of the greatest baseball players of all time, "Hammerin’ Hank" dominated the sport with a quiet dignity and undeniable strength. Known as the homerun king, he led the league in homeruns four times, was the only player to hit at least 30 homeruns in 15 seasons and finished his career as the all-time home run leader with 755, shattering the record set by Babe Ruth. However, as Aaron approached Ruth’s hallowed and seemingly unbreakable mark, his moment of triumph was sadly marred by racism and resentment. Through exclusive interviews and thrilling footage, relive the high-powered hits and the dramatic runs, but most importantly, witness the courage of the quiet man with the loud bat who overcame adversity to play his way into the history books and the hearts of fans everywhere.
