Movie Reviews of Nine Innings From Ground Zero: The 2001 World Series
Movie Review: For more than just baseball fans
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of the best made documentaries by HBO. Among many things, it shows how baseball helped New York and America survive the shocking aftermath of September 11, 2001.
Summary of Nine Innings From Ground Zero: The 2001 World Series
In the days following terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center in 2001, sports might have seemed trivial and irrelevant. But Nine Innings from Ground Zero demonstrates how New Yorkers, in fact, embraced baseball with a cathartic passion, turning Yankees and Mets games into spontaneous rituals of grief and showcases for resilience and the restoration of normalcy. Off the field, both teams found a way to comfort the city to the extent they could, visiting firefighters and relatives of the dead; the Yankees' Derek Jeter personally reached out to the young daughter of one of the pilots killed by hijackers. The Yankees' ride to the World Series that year is covered extensively here, and the team's up-and-down dramas playing against Phoenix coincide with such off-field horrors as an anthrax scare and more warnings of terrorism. Outstanding game footage and interwoven analysis of baseball action and real-world events make Nine Innings unique. --Tom KeoghThe tragedy and horror of the 9/11 attacks triggered a host of changes in America including a reassessment of the role of sports and its accompanying hero-worship. Batting averages and home run totals were no longer paramount particularly in New York but in the Fall of 2001 baseball played a significant role in the city's recovery efforts. Nine Innings From Ground Zero revisits that remarkable and inspiring phenomenon.Running Time: 62 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: DOCUMENTARIES/MISC. UPC: 026359255724
