In 1994, along with the PBS series, Geoffrey C. Ward and Ken Burns’s Baseball captured the beauty and complexity of America’s national pastime and became an instant classic. Now, to coincide with the PBS broadcast of a new two-part “Tenth Inning” episode, this expanded edition—including a new chapter by historian and novelist Kevin Baker—brings the monumental work into the turbulent twenty-first century, from the 1994 strike to the extraordinary homerun race of 1998 to Barry Bonds and the steroid age, and beyond.
