It is broadcast on Fox Sports Net Sunday nights at 8 p.m. and is produced by Flagstaff Films. Thirteen 30-minute episodes have been produced. The show has featured material on the effect of World War II on baseball, teams winning the pennant after years of losing, and pieces on individual players, both well known and not so well known.

The first episode featured a segment on "the sights and sounds of the game" which included peanuts and popcorn and the cracking sound of the bat.
