PBS to finally release hilarious outtakes from Ken Burns' Baseball documentary

New York, NY--Director Ken Burns has finally agreed to release the hilarious outtakes from his hit 1994 documentary series Baseball. The nearly 20-hour film, covering the history of America's pastime, included plenty of antics on and off the set that will be made into a blooper reel and shown on PBS in the fall. When asked why, 16 years after the movie's debut, the outtakes were being made public, Burns responded, "Every time some of Baseball's crew got together to talk old times, we would watch the blooper reel. And we were all like, wouldn't comedy fans everywhere love this?" One blunder shows Babe Ruth wearing Nike spikes and holding an aluminum bat while the narrator describes how the legend made it out of roof rain gutters from his boyhood Baltimore orphanage. One fan of the series was elated by the news. "I can just tell that there are going to be some classic Ken Burns bloopers. Just like the blooper extras from The National Parks: Americas Best Idea DVD," said Steven Bullard, 48, a Burlington, VT resident and an extra in The Civil War. "Nobody does bloopers like Ken."
