The Golden Game: Baseball in Sacramento
Chronicles the Sacramento Solons' victory against rival Los Angeles in the 1942 Pacific Coast League series, the mysterious fire at Edmonds Field (and why some believe the team set it), and the 2000 opening of Raley Field, home of the triple-A champion River Cats. Footage and archival stills reveal the impression baseball has left on Sacramento and the mark the city has left on the game.
