Baseball - S01E02: Inning Two: Something Like a War
It is a decade of revolution. In China, in Central America. At Kitty Hawk. In Henry Ford's factory. And on America's baseball fields. In 1894, a sportswriter named Byron Bancroft "Ban" Johnson takes over a struggling minor league - the Western League - and turns it into a financial success.

In 1903, the first World Series is played between the American League Boston Pilgrims and the National League Pittsburgh Pirates.
