the tenth Inning
Filmmaker
and Red Sox fan
Ken Burns
When Ken Burns’s landmark Baseball
miniseries premiered on THIRTEEN in 1994,
it attracted more than 45 million viewers,
becoming the most-watched program in
public television history. His new two-part
series, The Tenth Inning, picks up where the
original series left off, recalling the crippling
1994 strike, the steroid scandals, the rise of
Asian and Latino players, the new Yankee
dynasty, and more.
Burns spoke with THIRTEEN about this
tumultuous chapter in baseball history.

Q: Why did you
decide to do
a follow-up to
the original
Baseball series?
A: The last two decades in the history of the sport
have been among the most consequential in the story
of our national pastime. And since the story of baseball
is a precise mirror of the country that gave birth to it,
we felt compelled to try to make sense of what has
happened with the game—the devastating strike of 1994
and the ongoing steroid scandal, but also some amazing
achievements that have reminded us why this has
always been and will always be our national pastime.
Q: What role
does New York
play in The
Tenth Inning?
A: You cannot talk about baseball without talking about
New York City and specifically the New York Yankees,
the most important and dominant team in the history of
the sport. New York baseball also played a huge role in
our recovery from the events of September 11th. And of
course, the last bit of action we describe is the Yankees’
World Series victory in 2009.
Q: How would
your career be
different if you
didn’t have a
relationship with
public television?
A: I cannot imagine my professional life unfolding except
in public television. There’s no other place that would
have given me the chance to tackle in 11 hours the most
important event in American history—the Civil War—or
explore all the subjects that we’ve done. Public television
exists outside the marketplace, and my interests and the
way I approach films do too. I am thrilled and proud
and honored that they would allow me to be part of
this very complicated, utterly American family.

Baseball: A New York Love Story
In conjunction with The Tenth Inning, THIRTEEN will
air Baseball: A New York Love Story (Sun 26th and
Mon 27th, 10:30 p.m. on THIRTEEN; early Tue 28th
and early Wed 29th, 12 midnight on WLIW21), a
collection of baseball memories from World War II to
the present. Just as we did with Ken Burns’s last series
on national parks, we asked for your letters, photos and
video diaries and turned them into a uniquely personal
documentary and website. Visit thirteen.org/baseball to

Cuba: The Accidental Eden
Cuba’s varied landscape, with its
location in the Caribbean and at the
center of Cold War politics, offers some
of the richest and most unusual natural
environments of the hemisphere. But
today, Cuba’s priceless treasures are at
risk. Tourism is on the rise and experts
predict it will double once the U.S. trade
embargo ends. Nature’s season premiere
explores the challenges facing Cuba’s
stunning biodiversity.
