Baseball. The Tenth Inning

Description

From player salaries to performance-enhancing drugs, baseball's latter days have seen more than their share of controversy and confusion. This program covers the period from the 1994 player strike through the 2009 Major League season. Ample attention is given to the steroid problem, with a focus on Barry Bonds-both his stellar career and the scandal in which he became embroiled. But the film also discusses other major issues, such as how the sport rebounded from its 1994 debacle, the return to prominence of the Yankees, the influence of international players (specifically Dominican and Japanese athletes), and the drama of the 2003 and 2004 American League Championship Series.
