Ken, the absence of Pujols was unbelievable. At least the Cardinals were shown a little bit. If an alien landed and watched Ken Burns' baseball series he would never know a team even existed called the Minnesota Twins, much less that they had won 2 world titles in 87 and 91 (ESPN called it (1991) one of the top 3 series ever), or won division championships 6 of the last 9 years. I'm glad the Minnesotan told Burns he sucked Great job on the documentaries but he missed the boat on the Twins, a great, great story about a team which was about to be contracted by Selig fighting back with little payroll to be successful, doing it the right way.
And boatloads of footage of the Braves in the 90's but not one mention of that series in 91. Sigh. Oh well, go Twins!
