Spoiler-Free Synopsis
Read MoreCollapse
The classic black-and-white newsreel clips and old photographs that dominated the first seven innings of Ken Burns' documentary tribute to America's 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 Ruth's 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.

About This Guide
This episode guide brings together the episode runtime, synopsis, series context, and nearby episode navigation for Ken Burns' Baseball. That gives readers and search engines a clearer relationship between the episode and the parent series instead of treating the page as an isolated record.
Editorial Take
A Whole New Ballgame is presented as an episode-level guide that still keeps the parent series context visible, which is important because isolated episode pages can otherwise feel detached and thin. This episode sits at position 8 out of 11, so the page can answer both the runtime question and the progress question at the same time. The 1h 56m runtime is especially useful here because episode search intent is often much more time-sensitive than general series search intent.
