Ken Burns - Baseball: Episode 6 - The National Pastime (1940-1950) | Ken Burns Documentary

Duration: 145:34
Updated: 14 Oct 2014

Ken Burns - Baseball: Episode 6 - The National Pastime (1940-1950) | Ken Burns Documentary The 1940s was a decade of huge change in America and in baseball. In the 1941 season, Ted Williams of the Boston Red Sox hit .406 and Joe DiMaggio had his record-setting 56 game hitting streak. The Brooklyn Dodgers went from being perennial losers to actually winning the NL pennant. With the belated entry of the US into World War II many veterans enlisted, including Bob Feller, Ted Williams Hank Greenberg and Joe DiMaggio. In all, 340 major leaguers and over 3000 minor leaguers enlisted. With women entering the workforce in record numbers, it seemed only natural that they too would play professional baseball and the AAGPBL, the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League, was formed in 1943. The biggest change however, came with the breaking of the color barrier. Over the years, several owners had wanted to sign African-Americans but Commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis flatly refused. On his death however, the new Commissioner Happy Chandler, showed himself far more open to the idea. Brooklyn Dodgers manager Branch Rickey signed Jackie Robinson in 1945 and changed the game forever. The end of the decade also saw the death of a legend: Babe Ruth died in 1948 after a two year battle with cancer. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1063713/plotsummary?ref_=tt_ov_pl

''Επέτειο 28 Οκτωβρίου 1940'' Η μηχανή του Χρόνου VTS 01 1

Duration: 72:24
Updated: 21 Aug 2014

Η Επέτειος του ΟΧΙ μνημονεύει την άρνηση της Ελλάδας στις ιταλικές αξιώσεις που περιείχε το τελεσίγραφο που επιδόθηκε στις 28 Οκτωβρίου του 1940 στον Έλληνα Δικτάτορα που έφερε τίτλο Πρωθυπουργού, Ιωάννη Μεταξά. Συνέπεια της άρνησης αυτής ήταν η είσοδος της Χώρας στο Β΄ Παγκόσμιο Πόλεμο και η έναρξη του Ελληνοϊταλικού πολέμου του 1940. Η ημερομηνία αυτή καθιερώθηκε να εορτάζεται στην Ελλάδα κάθε χρόνο ως επίσημη εθνική εορτή και αργία.Τις πρώτες πρωινές ώρες στις 28 Οκτωβρίου του 1940 η τότε Ιταλική Κυβέρνηση απέστειλε στην Ελλάδα τελεσίγραφο, δια του Ιταλού Πρέσβη στην Αθήνα Εμανουέλε Γκράτσι, ο οποίος και το επέδωσε ιδιόχειρα στον Ιωάννη Μεταξά, στην οικία του δεύτερου, στην Κηφισιά, με το οποίο και απαιτούσε την ελεύθερη διέλευση του Ιταλικού στρατού από την Ελληνοαλβανική μεθόριο προκειμένου στη συνέχεια να καταλάβει κάποια στρατηγικά σημεία του Βασιλείου της Ελλάδος, (λιμένες, αεροδρόμια κλπ.), για ανάγκες ανεφοδιασμού και άλλων διευκολύνσεών του, στη μετέπειτα προώθησή του στην Αφρική. Μετά την ανάγνωση του κειμένου ο Μεταξάς έστρεψε το βλέμμα του στον Ιταλό Πρέσβη και του απάντησε στα γαλλικά (επίσημη διπλωματική γλώσσα) την ιστορική φράση: «Alors, c'est la guerre», (προφέρεται από τα γαλλικά, αλόρ, σε λα γκερ, δηλαδή, Λοιπόν, αυτό σημαίνει πόλεμο), εκδηλώνοντας έτσι την αρνητική θέση επί των ιταμών ιταλικών αιτημάτων. O ίδιος ο Γκράτσι στα απομνημονεύματά του, που εξέδωσε το 1945, περιγράφει τη σκηνή: «Έχω εντολή κ. πρωθυπουργέ να σας κάνω μία ανακοίνωση και του έδωσα το έγγραφο. Παρακολούθησα την συγκίνηση εις τα χέρια και εις τα μάτια του. Με σταθερή φωνή και βλέποντάς με κατάματα ο Μεταξάς μου είπε: αυτό σημαίνει πόλεμο. Του απήντησα ότι αυτό θα μπορούσε να αποφευχθεί. Μου απήντησε ΟΧΙ. Του πρόσθεσα ότι αν ο στρατηγός Παπάγος..., ο Μεταξάς με διέκοψε και μου είπε: ΟΧΙ! Έφυγα υποκλινόμενος με τον βαθύτερο σεβασμό, προ του γέροντος αυτού, που προτίμησε την θυσία αντί της υποδουλώσεως». Ο Μεταξάς εκείνη τη στιγμή είχε εκφράσει το ελληνικό λαϊκό συναίσθημα, την άρνηση της υποταγής, και αυτή η άρνηση πέρασε στον τότε ελληνικό δημοσιογραφικό τύπο με την λέξη «ΟΧΙ». Σημειώνεται πως αυτούσια η λέξη «ΟΧΙ» παρουσιάσθηκε για πρώτη φορά ως τίτλος στο κύριο άρθρο της εφημερίδας «Ελληνικό Μέλλον» του Ν. Π. Ευστρατίου στις 30 Οκτωβρίου του 1940. Δύο ώρες μετά την παραπάνω επίδοση, ξεκίνησε ο Ελληνοϊταλικός Πόλεμος με εισβολή των ιταλικών στρατευμάτων στην Ήπειρο, οπότε η Ελλάδα αμυνόμενη ενεπλάκη στον πόλεμο.

Ken Burns - Baseball: Episode 1 - Our Game (1840-1900) | Ken Burns Documentary The first episode in this documentary series covers the origins of baseball in the mid-19th century to the beginnings of the 20th century. Contrary to popular myth, Abner Doubleday did not sit down one afternoon in 1839 and write down the rules of baseball. The game evolved over many years and had its origins in cricket, rounders and town ball. The first game of baseball as we know took place in 1846 at Elysian Fields in New Jersey, just across the river from Manhattan when the New York Knickerbockers played a game. The Civil War had a major impact making it a workingman's game whereas previously, it was reserved for gentlemen. Baseball soon became big business when powerful men such as A.G. Spalding became involved. The National League was formed, soon followed by the upstart American League that sold alcohol and attracted more working class supporters. Negroes were not allowed to play in either league after 1890 and formed their own teams. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1063354/?ref_=ttpl_pl_tt

Ken Burns - Baseball: Episode 7 - The Capital Of Baseball (1950-1960) | Ken Burns Documentary The episode covers the 1950s and deals with several key events and issues: the dominance of the Yankees, the continuing integration of the game and the move to the West Coast of the Dodgers and Giants. The Yankees dominate baseball in the 1950s, winning 9 American League pennants and the World Series 5 times. For their rivals, particularly the Brooklyn Dodgers, every season proved to be a case of 'wait until next year'. The Dodgers year finally came in 1955 but with dwindling attendance, both the Dodgers and the NY Giants announce a few years later that they are moving to the West Coast. Integration of the game continued throughout this period but as one observer notes, the democratization of the game meant the end of the Negro leagues, at one time the largest Black-owned business in America. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1064262/plotsummary?ref_=tt_ov_pl

Ken Burns - Baseball: Episode 10 - The Tenth Inning (1994-2009) | Ken Burns Documentary

Duration: 116:44
Updated: 14 Oct 2014

Ken Burns - Baseball: Episode 10 - The Tenth Inning (1994-2009) | Ken Burns Documentary This latest entry covers the period from the early 1990's onward. Labor relations deteriorated badly in the early part of that decade leading to the players strike in August 1994. The Montreal Expos were the best team in baseball at the time but when a Federal judge blocked the owners from unilaterally imposing a contract (which would have let them use replacement players) it quickly came to an end and the players returned to work under the old contract. Attendance dropped after that but the game recovered quickly with the heroics of Cal Ripkin Jr. By the end of 1990's, fans were caught up in the home run derby presented by Sammy Sosa and Mark McGwire. There was also the first whiff of scandal when McGwire was accused of using steroids. It was also an era when new baseball stadiums were built in many cities, evoking an earlier age when the parks were built specifically for the sport. The curse of the Bambino finally came to an end with the Boston Red Sox winning the World Series in 2004. Bobby Bonds broke McGwire's three year-old season home-run record and later Hank Aaron's HR record. The issue of drug use eventually led to Congressional hearings after the BALCO scandal and the Mitchell Report, which named many stars as having used performance enhancing drugs. This inning is dedicated to the late, great Buck O'Neil. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1738421/plotsummary?ref_=tt_ov_pl

Updated: 14 Oct 2014

Ken Burns - Baseball: Episode 3 - The Faith of Fifty Million People (1900-1910) | Ken Burns Documentary The third episode of the series covers the period 1910-20. In this decade, the game went from it's zenith in popularity to the depths of betrayal and fan disillusionment. Ty Cobb dominated the game but was hated by virtually everyone in baseball, including his own teammates. He was racist and brutal, once beating up a handicapped fan who was heckling him. After another similar incident, American League President Bam Johnson suspended him indefinitely. He also became baseball's richest player thanks to a wise investment in a company called Coca Cola. The first Latin Americans, Cubans, were signed to play ball but African Americans were still barred. It was also a time when some of the great baseball fields were built, including Fenway Park in 1912 and Ebbets Field in Brooklyn in 1913. Players were concerned about their own situation vis-a-vis the owners - the reserve clause and the lack of pensions or other benefits led them to create a players fraternity. It was the new Federal League however, with 8 teams that lured 81 players from the established leagues, that provided an alternative. Salaries for the stars of the National and American Leagues went up but when the Federal League collapsed after two seasons, baseball salaries dropped almost immediately. Then came what is still the greatest scandal in the history of baseball: the Black Sox. In 1919, eight members of the Chicago White Sox accepted bribes from gambler Arnold Rothstein to throw the World Series. When the news came out the following year, the scandal led to the creation of the Commissioner and the appointment of Federal Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis. All eight of the Black Sox were banned from baseball for life. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0108700/?ref_=tt_ov_inf

Ken Burns - Baseball: Episode 5 - Shadow Ball (1900-1910) | Ken Burns Documentary In the period 1930-40, the Depression had a major impact on the game of baseball. Many teams were nearing bankruptcy with attendance dwindling and fan interest at its lowest ebb. The owners introduced many innovations in an attempt to revive interest and attendance including the All Star game. Night games were introduced in 1935 and the Hall of Fame opened in Cooperstown in 1939 on the mythical 100th anniversary of creation of the game. The sport still provided its heroes however. Babe Ruth was larger than life and in 1930 signed an $80,000 a year contract; his teammate Lou Gehrig had become the best hitter in the AL. Barnstorming black teams played white teams regularly and had an entertaining pre-game warm-up routine dubbed shadow ball. The Negro leagues came into its own and drew huge crowds. It had its own stars such as Satchel Paige, one of the greatest pitchers in all of baseball, and catcher Josh Gibson it's greatest hitter. By the end of the decade, the Babe's career was over, Gehrig had retired due to ALS and professional baseball was still segregated. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1063712/plotsummary?ref_=tt_ov_pl

Ken Burns - Baseball: Episode 2 - Something Like a War (1900-1910) | Ken Burns Documentary This second episode in the series covers the years 1900-10. The new century was a time of great change in the United States and around the world. Baseball was in decline generally but the creation of the American League by Bam Johnson in 1896 presents the first real competition to the older and well-established National League. The new league was an immediate success and established themselves in cities that had been abandoned by the National League. The National League owners did their best to obstruct the upstarts but in the end had to admit that their play was on a par with the older established circuit. This led to the first World Series in 1903 between the Boston Pilgrims and the Pittsburgh Pirates, which Boston won (there was no World Series in 1904 because of NY Giants manager John McGraw's antipathy towards Johnson and the American League, a decision that cost the players dearly). The stars of the day shone: Honus Wagner, Ty Cobb, Christie Mathewson and many others. African Americans were still excluded from either league but played baseball on barnstorming teams across the USA. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0108700/?ref_=tt_ov_inf

Ken Burns speaks about The Roosevelts at the National Press Club - Sept. 15, 2014

Duration: 60:09
Updated: 15 Sep 2014

Filmmaker Ken Burns will discuss his new PBS documentary series The Roosevelts: An Intimate History at a National Press Club Speakers Luncheon September 15, 2014 in the Holeman Lounge. This seven-part, fourteen hour film begins on September 14th and covers the lives of Theodore, Franklin, and Eleanor Roosevelt from Theodore’s birth in 1858 to Eleanor’s death in 1962. During the course of the Roosevelt Century, Theodore would become the 26th President of the United States and his niece Eleanor would marry his fifth cousin Franklin, who would become the 32nd President. Ken Burns chronicles how these three individuals not only redefined the relationship Americans had with their government and with each other, but also defined the role the United States played on the modern world stage. Among the topics covered are the creation of the National Parks, the digging of the Panama Canal, the passage of innovative New Deal programs, the defeat of Hitler, and the postwar struggles for civil rights at home and human rights abroad. The series will also tell touching family stories about love, betrayal, loyalty, and personal courage.

1940 - Submarines

Top Submarines, 1940

Something's wrong when you regret
Things that haven't happened yet
But it's a glorious day when morning comes
Without that feeling of alarm
So rise and shine
Now's the time to be alive
To stay awake and be with me a while
And smile
You couldn't sleep for the awful fright
That kept you up in bed last night
While curious shapes shift in the dark
They vanish with the sunlight spark
So rise and shine
Now's the time to be alive
To stay awake with me a while
And smile
So rise and shine
Now's the time to be alive
To stay awake with me a while
So rise and shine
Now's the time to be alive
To stay awake with me a while
