Watch Nine Innings from Ground Zero For Free

Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Absolutely Brilliant!

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Nine Innings from Ground Zero (2004) **** (out of 4) Terrific documentary covering baseball following the September 11, 2001 attacks on America. The documentary picks up on the day of the attacks and then continues as the New York Yankees forced the Arizona Diamondbacks to a Game 7 in the World Series. This is a pretty remarkable and well-balanced documentary that pays great respect to the tragedy that happened but it also showed how important the sport was for people suffering through their pain. We get to hear from various family members of those killed who explain what meeting various baseball players meant to them. This is an incredibly touching documentary that shows what it was like watching baseball in the days and weeks after the terrorist attacks. We see some of the September 21st game between the Mets and Braves as this was the first game played after the attacks. From here we see the ride that the Yankees went on as they fell down 0-2 in the first round to Oakland only to fight back and win. Once they hit the World Series they lost the first two games in Arizona only to return home and win all three in quite a remarkable way. I think this documentary is really going to touch those who watch it because just seeing these emotional games and what they meant to people was something special. As the documentary stated, even if you hated the Yankees you couldn't help but see them as America's team. We get interviews with Mayor Rudy Giuliani, Derek Jeter, Joe Torre, Bobby Valentine, Paul O'Neill, Bob Brenley, Jim Joyce and even President Bush who threw out a famous first pitch at Game 3.

Alright, already. We all know that 9/11 happened and that the Yankees made it into the World Series that year, and lost. Baseball had absolutely nothing to do with the attack. The Yankees won the World Series 26 times before this.. I'm sorry they didn't win it in 01, but they didn't. Nobody would ever make a documentary so biased for the losing team unless they had some money to gain, shame. This documentary is just an insult to the Diamondbacks, and an insult to intelligence. It paints the DBacks as the enemy, which they weren't. This documentary takes away everything the Diamondbacks achieved. Terrible.1/10 stars. Horrible.

For the people saying anything baseball oriented you should just shut you mouth. When it comes to this documentary you people should understand that this was about the affect baseball had on peoples lives that were constantly reminded of those tragic events on 9/11. Just because you people weren't in New York or around it when it happened doesn't mean you should dismiss this and try to undercut the affect it had on people. I lived in Connecticut, about 20 minutes out of the city and even I was affected. Talk to the millions of lives that were affected by this or try explaining to the little girl that lost her father and than the Yankees send her to hang out with the team and talk to Derek Jeter. Did you people just not feel connected or is it jealousy that allows you to appear to be such dumb asses. You people say that this was lame obviously didn't know (and still don't) that you witnessed the best World Series ever. I am a Yankees fan and I am saying that and they lost. You had Jeter's flip play - Jeter backhanding a ball in the stands - Tino's shot to tie with 1 out left- Jeter becoming Mr. November - Scott Brosius doing it again the next night off the same closer- and than the Diamondbacks beating the Yanks. It was magical and it gave people something to believe in. Maybe its just that you don't have memories of sports becoming something bigger than you ever thought it could be. Maybe your teams never gave you anything to believe in and move you to emotions you didn't think you could express as fans. I highly recommend this documentary and for those of you that hate on it I just simply feel bad for.Gary aka Coach K

Well, as a documentary it's all right, but most of the people in it annoyed the hell out of me. It takes on the theme that the Yankees "deserved" to win the World Series because of September 11th, when it all actuality Arizona was the better team. It's another documentary of New Yorkers wanting to claim September 11th as "their own." What the filmmaker and most people involved need to realize is that Sept. 11th was an attack on America, not just New York (apparently the Pentagon and Pennsylvania crashes aren't as important). Don't get me wrong, it's not that I'm not sympathetic, it's just that if anyone deserved to win this World Series, it was Arizona because their team was better.
