The classic black-and-white newsreel clips and old photographs that dominated the first seven innings of Ken Burns documentary tribute to Americas pastime now give way to color clips as baseball enters the 60s in Ken Burns Baseball: Inning 8 -- A Whole New Ballgame. In this decade, Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris tried to overtake Babe Ruths home run record, Sandy Koufax made a name for himself, and Bob Gibson and Denny McLain had MVP pitching seasons. In other highlights, fans said goodbye to Ted Williams, welcomed the New York Mets, and Curt Flood challenged the reserve clause as institutional slavery when he refused to be traded from the Cardinals to the Phillies. ~ Katie Tamms, All Movie Guide
