Synopsis
Simon Schama, who has lived in the United States for 30 years, explores his love of baseball.
Simon watches the Boston Red Sox take on their arch rivals the New York Yankees. Surrounded by 40,000 baying fans, he wonders why baseball, with its slow pace and low scores, has captured the imagination of artists and artisans alike for the last 100 years.
