S01E01 Inning One: Our Game

Title: Inning One: Our Game Plot: In the bustling streets of 1840s New York City, residents seek an escape from their hectic lives. They discover a pastime with uncertain roots. On June 19, 1846, at Hoboken's Elysian Fields, a group of dapper men known as the Knickerbockers hosts the inaugural baseball game. By 1856, this sport is affectionately dubbed "the national pastime," or simply "Our Game." However, as the nation faces impending conflict, a unifying thread emerges amid the turmoil of the Civil War: the shared love for baseball, cherished by both Northerners and Southerners alike.
