Season 6 Episodes
1. Birds of a Different Game: The '80s Cardinals
The St. Louis Cardinals teams of the 1980s are examined. Whitey Herzog was hired as manager in 1980 and began crafting a team that was built on speed and defense. Cardinals were the only team in the decade to appear in three World Series (winning the 1982 World Series over the Milwaukee Brewers).
2. Junior
In exclusive new interviews, stars and legends across the sports and entertainment landscape discuss Ken Griffey Jr.’s generational talent, which transcended baseball and made him one of sports’ most famous athletes. Narrated by Emmy and Golden Globe award-winning actor Sterling K. Brown, the 90-minute documentary chronicles Griffey Jr.’s journey from growing up in clubhouses alongside his father Ken Griffey, Sr. to becoming the face of baseball throughout the 1990s. From his picturesque swing to his unforgettable swagger, Griffey Jr. opens up about his life’s seminal moments, which propelled him to 630 home runs and a first-ballot induction into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 2016.
3. Icons Lost
MLB Network honors six legendary Hall of Famers who passed away in 2020: Tom Seaver, Lou Brock, Al Kaline, Bob Gibson, Whitey Ford, and Joe Morgan. (In a fitting postscript to 2020, a seventh Hall of Famer, Phil Niekro, died the day this episode originally aired.)
