Starting March 31, all nine episodes of the acclaimed Ken Burns’ Baseball along with The Tenth Inning will be available to watch for free on video.witf.org and the PBS Video app through April 30.

After April 30, the films will continue to be available to WITF Passport members.

In Baseball, Ken Burns shares classic baseball stories from the Great Depression through the 1990s – from Joe DiMaggio and Satchel Paige to Ted Williams and Jackie Robinson to Willie Mays and Don Larsen.

The Tenth Inning explores baseball’s more recent history. Burns and co-director Lynn Novick begin with the crippling strike that alienated millions of fans, celebrate baseball’s new Golden Age and shed light on one of the game’s darkest chapters – the steroid era. The two-part film features the stories of Joe Torre, Mark McGwire, Sammy Sosa, Pedro Martinez, Ichiro Suzuki, Cal Ripken Jr. and Barry Bond, and insightful commentary from an eclectic lineup of writers, broadcasters, fans and all-stars.
