Baseball

I may be the outlier here, but I didn't like the baseball one. I think it's his only one that didn't start in linear chronological order and I was lost.

IIRC, they start off like mid-30s then jump from the HR era back to the bunting era & then fast-forwards to the mid-20s, or something like that. I never finished it. I wanted to see how baseball began & how it evolved into America's game, in that order, not in the scrambled order I saw. But that's just me. To each their own.

I recall that it was pretty much in chronological order. Each "inning" (episode) covered a an era/decade in order.
