A FILM BY KEN BURNS
Ken Burns follows up his epic "The Civil War" with a compre-
hensive study of our national pastime, a game that he calls "a
perfect reflection of the American character."
In addition to chronicling the development of the sport and
humanizing its legends, this nine-part, 18-plus-hour effort
draws parallels between the evolving game and our evolving
Nation. In assembling the documentary, Burns says he was
amazed by "the power of baseball to connect with history."
Tonight's "first inning" looks at baseball history before the
20th century, tracing the sport's origins to 18th century games
like "townball." In the 19th century, teams were formed, rules
were created, the game began to flourish and the advent of
pro clubs brought the game's first scandals and player-owner
confrontations—and the myth was created that Abner Double-
day created baseball. Guided by Albert Goodwill Spalding,
baseball started to become a big business. Among the stars
appearing on the first baseball cards were Cy Young (pic-
tured), Cap Anson and King Kelly. The end of the century al-
so saw blacks banned from the game.
Innings one through five of this series run tonight through
Thursday. The series resumes with innings six through nine
