september 2010 The Tenth Inning Tue 28th and Wed 29th, 8 p.m. Baseball: A New York Love Story Sun 26th and Mon 27th, 10:30 p.m. thirteen.org/ baseball Ronald C. Modra/Sports Imagery PLAY BALL! 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. Cover: Nadine Slender; KEN BURNS: Al Karevy Photography Tue 28th and Wed 29th, 8 p.m. on THIRTEEN; 10 p.m. on WLIW21 thirteen.org/baseball thirteen.org 1 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. Read the complete interview with Ken Burns at thirteen.org/baseball 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.
