NINE INNINGS FROM GROUND ZERO
(First Viewing)

Short, well-made documentary showing how the NY Yankees vs. AZ Diamondbacks world series games, just a month after 9-11, provided welcome relief from the uncertainty New Yorkers, and the nation, felt about how to proceed with their lives. The Yankees, during the series, came to symbolize and re-strengthen everything that was, and is, New York and America.

A great documentary that gives an in-depth firsthand exclusive of how the city of New York and the country came to cope with the tragic events of 9/11 and how the game helped in their healing. I appreciate it more almost 6 years after the events as more time has passed and the wounds aren't so raw. Even though I wasn't a fan of the outcome, I will give Curt Schilling credit by not being a pompous a$$ and with his assessment of Yankee fans.
