Plot Synopsis

Ken Burns last explored the history of America's national pastime with his landmark PBS series BASEBALL. Now, he updates the series with THE TENTH INNING, a two-part four-hour program, that begins with the 1994 players' strike -- and a year without a World Series. Then Burns covers the sports' increased popularity during its single-season home-run title chases, and he finally delves into the darkest chapters of the steroids era as Barry Bonds breaks the record for most home runs in a career. By using insightful commentary from an eclectic lineup of writers, broadcasters, fans and all-stars, Burns tells the compelling stories of Joe Torre, Mark McGwire, Sammy Sosa, Pedro Martinez, Ichiro Suzuki, Cal Ripken Jr. and Barry Bonds.
