Review of HOME TEAM Baseball Special

Takes the most deeply American, earnest and lyrical of all the sports - starts out clever and sweet and then in half two takes a plunge down into the dark heart of turn-of-the-century America - with a symphonic story that successfully defends serious, longer-bite listening and makes it worth it - let's give audiences a little credit!
Choosing three tones this time was challenging. This one runs round lots of bases.
