WTTW, Bank of America and Broadway In Chicago present An Evening with Ken Burns in anticipation of the new documentary series, BASEBALL: THE TENTH INNING.
Thousands of at-bats, three home run records, and one “curse” have been broken since Ken Burns last explored the history of America's national pastime with his landmark PBS series BASEBALL. Now, Burns and co-director Lynn Novick continue the series with THE TENTH INNING. Beginning with a crippling strike that alienated millions of fans and brought the game to the brink, this new film tells the tumultuous story of our national pastime up to the present. It celebrates baseball's new Golden Age — an era of unprecedented home run totals, popularity, and prosperity — and sheds light on one of the game's darkest chapters — the steroid era.
During this exciting summer evening event at the Bank of America Theatre in Chicago, Ken Burns will show parts of his new film, talk about the “making of,” and answer your questions.
