Default Ken Burns' "Baseball"

I've been re-watching this documentary for the 1st time since it aired way back on PBS...and it has been a joy!

2 moments were really great....Buck O'Neill about Paige striking out Josh Gibson and Satch and Buck visiting Drum Island.

Other was Curt Flood discussing his minor league experience when the clubhouse man took a stick with a nail on it to remove his uniform from all the white players uniforms. You could still see the hurt in Curt's eyes.
