Movie Summary
Ken Burns celebrated baseball documentary has come full circle, from the black-and-white images of the games beginnings to the full color of the modern era. Ken Burns Baseball: Inning 9 -- Home, the final episode, deals with such threats to our national pastime as drug use by players, the egos of players and owners such as Reggie Jackson and George Steinbrenner, sky-rocketing salaries, and Pete Roses banishment for gambling. But it also relives such moments as Hank Aaron breaking Babe Ruths home run record, Carlton Fisk keeping the ball fair at Fenway with his body language, and Ken Griffey Sr. and Ken Griffey Jr. hitting back-to-back home runs in a game. Jackie Robinsons funeral is also covered in this episode, as Burns continues to pay tribute to the man who broke baseballs color barrier. ~ Katie Tamms, All Movie Guide
