  1. actually, they wind up with the Dodgers or Angels. Maybe it's like retiring to Florida.

    I have no idea who's leading off for the Dodgers. I'm still sick over losing Juan Pierre, who fit perfectly here. We'll see how he likes the White Sox.

  2. I based my comments on Bolshevik's link. It was a Boston source, that describes the 10th inning as basically a Sox love fest, since Burns is a Sox fan. Burns is quoted as saying that he's planning on ending the film at the 2004 Sox victory.

  3. On further thought, I'll be watching cause it's Ken Burns. I still don't buy 'ending' it in 2004. The tearing down of old Yankee Stadium, and the championship in the first year of the new one, seems just as valid and certainly more current.

  4. nope-not those-I can see why you'd guess 'Everyday People"

    "One day you're up, and the next day you're down, you can't face the world with your head to the ground

    the grass is always greener on the other side they say

    so don't worry boys, life will be sweet some day"

    Everyone in our codger age group knows this song-can't say I ever thought about the words much, though

  5. Burns says he's going to end it in 2004. I'm so sorry we're in 2010, and the Yankees are again champs. It's like a political documentary made by some right winger, that ends with a triumphant George Bush. Whatever came after somehow doesn't count, or as important.

    I know the argument about the long suffering Sox nation,and the generations that didn't live to see the triumph, and of course it has to be an important part of the film. The article paints a picture of a love fest I don't need to suffer through.
