	Baseball (documentary) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Baseball: A Film by Ken Burns is an Emmy Award-winning 1994 documentary series by Ken Burns about the game of baseball.
		Baseball is similar to Burns' previous documentaries (most notably, The Civil War) in that he uses archived pictures and film footage mixed with interviews for his visual presentation.
		The emphasis here is on baseball finally becoming what it had always purported to be: a national game, as African-Americans are finally permitted into Major League Baseball, led by Jackie Robinson.

		This film tells the story of the defeat of Japan in the Pacific War and the early occupation of American troops from the eyes of two fifth graders who have lost their fathers.
		Baseball is both entertaining and educational as to the different baseball philosophies and styles in the United States and Japan.
		Baseball is the ending in which the American player, now a good Japanese team player, in turn teaches his Japanese team mates to respond emotionally to an umpire's decision and violently (a bench clearing brawl) to a pitch thrown at a batter.

	Top Baseball Films
		I'm looking at Baseball and what I consider the most worthy films, a few that fall short of the goal and a couple that simply should not have been made in the first place.
		Steeped in baseball lore with nods to Ted Williams, Shoeless Joe Jackson (see Field of Dreams and 8 Men Out both of which are on this list), and even lifting from a bizarre story about the shooting of former Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Eddie Waitkus by Ruth Ann Steinhagen in Chicago's Edgewater Beach Hotel.
		Like most great baseball films, the sport is where the drama takes place, but the drama is not about the sport.

		Jim Morris really was a high school science teacher and baseball coach when he went to a tryout for the Tampa Bay Devil Rays as a lark and somehow discovered the talent to make it to the Major Leagues as a 35 year old rookie, ten years after he had quit the game.

		The film could've easily taken the route in which Jim's arm is reinjured in the second act of the film, only to have him reemerge in the last act beaten, but now willing to fight for his dreams.
		In a film that is shrouded in formula, I am shocked that the filmmakers never choose to mine this plot thread for maximum drama.
		If you're a fan of baseball thought, it's a film not to miss, as any picture that loves the game as much as this film is truly a sports movie to see.

	“Hello again everybody” — Caray film planned - Baseball Fever
		Harry Caray was the ultimate baseball fan and one of the most colorful broadcasters of the game.
		In 1989, at age 74, Caray was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame and later died of cardiac arrest in 1998.
		A documentary of Caray that balanced his baseball side versus his night life side might be very juicy.

		The film treats the sport of baseball with a sort of casual reverence, highlighting both the drama and the humor inherent in the game, illustrated by Annie's numerous references to baseball as "her religion." Although not X-rated, there are a few instances requiring parental viewing prior to youth watching it.
		That MGM produced the film is tipped off by two of the studio's trademarks: The killer's last-minute confession, wherein the guilty party transforms from a mild-mannered soul into a raving lunatic, and the shoddy process-screen work in the ballgame scenes.
		The film was remade for television in 1978 as a vehicle for Gary Coleman.

		century, this filmography lists all films of which we are aware and have been able to verify the use of baseball in some form—language, artifact, symbol, image, incident, reference—that has meaning to a film’s plot or character development.
		The film industry has evolved from screening only short films because of the constraints of the technology to altering length for use as part of a double feature.
		Further, while some independent films have found their way into the filmography, there are probably many independent films with baseball content that are not included.

		Fong, like many other writers, mentions how the film is pastoral: he says, “The magic at the heart of the novel, the movie, and the Iowa Field is a pastoral vision compounded of yearning and faith” (31).
		Baseball is a “pastoral sport,” an idea clearly defined throughout the dissertation.
		Baseball’s is related to agriculture and to an agrarian society: “Again, there is a close association between farming and baseball; the two are often presented as interchangeable.” The idea of baseball being the search for the “attractive notion that time can be defeated” and “the desire for eternal youth” are discussed at great lengths.

		The film, which depicts the World Series scandal of 1919, is one that he feels belongs on his list of "good" or "more than good" projects.
		Set in a secluded motel in Nevada's high desert, the film involves a group of strangers who, largely driven by pounding rains and detrimental road conditions, are forced to the isolated dwelling in the dead of night, only to start being killed off one by one.

For years as a kid I called this piece "the Bad News Bears song (If you recall, it was the theme for the short-lived Bad News Bears TV series).
		Even though this film was probably the first of these kiddy sports movies, you still have to tip your cap to it for taking a different approach.

	HISTORY 4556: AMERICA THROUGH BASEBALL
		Baseball is more than a game or sport in American life and history.
		Baseball provides a way to view clashes in values and practices: competition versus cooperation, community versus individualism, anti-intellectualism and elitism, heroes and villains, exploitation and the work ethic, secular and sacred, nostalgia and modernity, urban and rural, peace and war, home and the road, work and family, spirituality and materialism, internationalism and xenophobia.
		Baseball is also about dreams - fantasies, inspiration, ideals, and the fulfillment of the American Dream.

		The film climaxes with Ray's reconciliation scene with his dead father.

		Baseball was invented here in the United States of America and the making of movies about this game has developed ever since the creation of film (slightly after the discovery of the game).
		These are wonderful film documentaries but what really attracts us to films of our pastime, weather it's comedy (Bull Durham) or a sincere story, is the fantasy effect baseball creates through film.
		Baseball has always been America's pastime and Hollywood continues to bring us astonishing films that deliver powerful, yet magical messages through the art of this medium.

	Ken Burns' "Baseball"
		The importance of baseball, often overstated among intellectuals who write idealized analyses of the game, is underscored by the sports malaise in the late summer and early fall of 1994.
		Also, as many players demonstrate, baseball is a breeding ground for upward mobility among immigrants and the children of immigrants, from John McGraw and Honus Wagner to Felipe Alou and Raul Mondesi.
		In baseball, as in most of our moments of joy, the movement of the clock is irrelevant.

		It is serviceable for us as people to not only prize the baseball accomplishments of Jackie Robinson and, later, players such as Willie Mays and Hank Aaron, but also to admit the general racism and unqualified roadblocks they had to master that their white twins didn't even have to see.
		Ken Burns should revisit the documentary with a follow-up film to extend the Yankees return to dynastic hump in the middle to late 90's, the ultimate end of the Red Sox supposed ` Curse' in the new millenium along with the red of Joe Dimaggio, Ted Williams and Mickey Mantle.
		The documentary centers in on the Baseball is comfortable history that is stressed by the statistics of someones that are used as a yardstick to measure the performances of forthcoming and future players.

		This is because Burns doesn't just detail the great players and the memorable plays and games; he also presents baseball as a cultural and social mirror, reflecting the beauty and hypocrisy of the nation that created it.
		Divided into nine innings, two hours each in length, the video examines complex social issues such as segregation, racial inequality (its section on Jackie Robinson, baseball's first African American player, should be required school viewing), labor battles between owners and players, politics, technology and gender conflicts, among others.
		The series spans 150 years, starting with the myth-debunking tale of baseball's true beginnings -- when it was a game "one degree above mayhem." Then follow the growth of America's National Pastime through the decades of glory and record-setting achievements, as well as the scandals, the bigotry, and the big money.

		Baseball is indeed a mirror of American life, and Ward and Burns show how well America's story is told through baseball.
		In the case of "Baseball," the unrelenting focus is on New York City, Babe Ruth and Jackie Robinson, and to be fair, there is no way you could discuss the subject of baseball without devoting a great deal of time to these subjects.
		In any case, "Baseball" is very entertaining, and that is what largely accounts for my 4-star rating I would only caution those who don't know their baseball history that this documentary omits a great deal of what is a very good story.

	Baseball Almanac - Movie Time: Bang The Drum Slowly
		Only those with ice water in their veins won't get misty-eyed watching this moving film about the friendship of two professional baseball players, one of whom, in every sense, is playing his last season.
		The film is humble in the scale of its focus on baseball and friendship, but the snapshots of romance, family and business add an emotional element to the story that would not have been there if the two main themes were stuck to.
		Moriarty gives his character many facets as an all-star pitcher and an estute business man, but his facial expressions seem to be to stoic to me to really convey his emotions- the character is still very effective.
