Storyline
Featured review
Baseball helps mend a city.
This informative documentary takes a look at the 1968 Detroit Tigers and the team's effect on a torn and divided city after the explosive race rioting of 1967. Sporting only three blacks on the team the Tigers winning the World Series helps blacks and whites find common ground in putting their differences in the past. In 1968 Detroit was the nation's fifth most populous city and learning how to heal itself. Baseball fans and historians alike will find this hour documentary interesting.
