Ken Burns' BASEBALL was only highly acclaimed in filmmaking circles. In baseball circles, it was rather widely ridiculed. It was fascinating to watch some of the films that they unearthed and a few of the interviews were interesting, but it was way too narrow and self-indulgent to be considered a true filmed history of baseball. When you see it again, you'll get an idea of what I'm describing.
