WETA, a proud production partner of acclaimed filmmakers Ken Burns and Lynn Novick, is pleased to bring you The Tenth Inning, which picks up where the landmark 1994 series Baseball left off, telling the tumultuous story of the national pastime from the 1990s to the present day. 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.
