With spring in the air, sports fans everywhere are turning their thoughts to the 2013 baseball season. Spring training already has excitement levels pumped, and soon the call of “play ball” will echo through the air.
To celebrate opening day and all the excitement of baseball, check out a new baseball tour in Cooperstown, N.Y., crafted by the legendary filmmaker Ken Burns. Baseball aficionados will recall that Burns’s PBS film “Baseball” earned nearly 20 different awards and award nominations and spawned a critically-acclaimed sequel, “The Tenth Inning.”
