I didn't know how this miniseries would develop but had read the book and was hopeful. I must admit that ESPN has done well and I'm enjoying the series very much. I've watched the first three episodes....The sets are a cut above for a miniseries and the characters are growing nicely in their parts. I'm old, so I remember the 70's. It was before the strike and baseball was still very much a part of America. That is, the old America, when a night at the game made your week, when the guy selling peanuts could throw a strike 15 rows up. Including all the historical events of the time, in New York City, with a good baseball story puts me right back there. That was definitely part of the story, so I'm glad ESPN chose to stay true to the book.
Good job, ESPN!
