From the Shadow Documentary Filmmaker of Baseball

Ken Burns had made, or is still finishing, the "Tenth Inning" to follow his Baseball documentary on PBS.  Promos are starting to show up.  I will, herewith, go out on a limb and predict what will and won't be in the film, and/or what there will be either too much of or not enough of, from the 16-year stretch since the original was made.

One area you didn't directly cover, but I would put in the "may get appropriate coverage": the McGwire-Sosa race of 98. Probably linked with any treatment of performance enhancing drugs.

I enjoyed the original, but found myself wondering why such a great sport would only be played within about 50 miles of the Atlantic Ocean. Surely it would have spread to the rest of the country by now.

McGwire-Sosa in '98, and Barry Bonds over several years.

More thoughts came to me after I finished the original post, of course. It struck me that an ideal viewpoint character for the whole thing would be Ken Griffey Jr., because the time span to be covered is almost his whole career--and, as far as anyone knows, he stayed clean.
