As a sports fan and history buff, Burns series was very well done. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen it.

I wish I had been to some baseball games in the old stadiums of the 1930s and 1950s, a Golden Age for baseball. And gone to a few Indy 500s then, too. Just to get a different feel for a sports event in that era. I went to Wrigley Field last week for a Cub game and yes, it’s still Wrigley Field...but it’s not, if you know what I mean.

My dad took me to some games at Kansas City's old Municipal Stadium, which was definitely not worth preserving. I especially remember going to a Yankees game with him and some of his buddies to see Roger Maris when he was making his run. That was pretty cool.

But that was in the 1960's, when football was slowly overtaking baseball. The Chiefs came to town in 1963 and won the Super Bowl in 1970, taking the town by storm.
