It was the decade that saw the rise of the American counterculture, and baseball was not immune to radical change itself. This program looks at events that transformed the sport during the 1960s, including the emergence of televised baseball, an increase in expansion teams, and the building of multipurpose stadiums that many saw as robbing the game of its intimacy. Among other developments, viewers witness the debut of the California Angels, New York Mets, and Texas Colt .45’s; the pursuit of Babe Ruth’s single-season home run record by Maris and Mantle; the arrival of Pete Rose; and various labor-management battles.
