Spring Training would be in full swing if this was a normal year. However, 2020 has been anything but normal. MLB has already announced the cancelation of spring training, and the start of the regular season is delayed at least eight weeks . With so many other sports off of the courts, courses, and rinks, fans have been looking around for sports programming to watch. PBS and Ken Burns are teaming up to stream the famous miniseries "Baseball A Film by Ken Burns" for free.

Ken Burns made the announcement on Sunday on his Twitter account @KenBurns , where he explained why they partnered to bring it back.

The original airing of Baseball on PBS was in 1994, and the series earned acclaim from fans and critics alike. It examines the history of the game of baseball from its early days up to the 1994 players strike. Each part of the miniseries is presented as an "inning" of a game, with nine chapters for the nine innings. An extra Tenth Inning was added by Burns in 2010, bringing the series into the new century as it covers the steroid era.
