Ken Burns’ Baseball streaming free on PBS.org

If you’re looking for something to do for the next month-plus while you’re stuck at home without sports, Ken Burns and PBS are offering the original nine-part documentary series “Baseball” for free at https://www.pbs.org/show/baseball/.

You’ve probably already seen it by now, but if you somehow haven’t or just haven’t seen it in a while, it makes for some spectacular background noise or binge-worthy material late at night when you’d normally be watching someone throw a ball at something.

It has certainly aged, given that it was recorded in 1994, but if you want a nostalgic trip through the sport narrated by the dulcet tones of John Chancellor, you can’t go wrong. I’d say it’s a good excuse to invite some friends over and watch, but, y’know. Please don’t.

From what I can tell, it doesn’t include the “10th inning” parts 10 and 11 that were made in 2010, so nothing about PEDs, Ichiro’s arrival, or the McGwire-Sosa home run race. All 11 episodes are available through Amazon Prime Streaming, though.
