This opening segment of Ken Burns' "Baseball" series reveals some interesting history of the game, giving us facts I'll be 99 percent of baseball fans haven't heard before, such as how the game was played during the Civil War era, what it was called and in what manner it changed.
Included in that history was the fact that Abner Doubleday did not invent the game of baseball as we were all told, that is slowly evolved from a combination of game called "rounders' along with cricket.
Most of the information was interesting and presented so that one needn't be a baseball historian to enjoy it.
