The Tenth Inning

Sixteen years have passed since Ken Burns last explored the history of America’s national pastime with his landmark 1994 PBS series BASEBALL. Now, Burns and co-director Lynn Novick bring the series to the present with THE TENTH INNING.

Premiere Date: September 2010

A follow-up to their landmark series Baseball, this documentary from Emmy Award-winning filmmakers Ken Burns and Lynn Novick continues the story of "America's Pastime," chronicling events from the 1990s to the present day.

WETA, a proud production partner of Burns and Novick, is pleased to bring you The Tenth Inning. The new four-hour, two-part series explores baseball’s new Golden Age — an era of unprecedented popularity, prosperity, and home run totals — as well as some of baseball’s darkest hours, including the strike and the steroid era.
