The Bronx Is Burning

2007 · 1 season

A gritty, character-driven slice of 1970s New York that mixes baseball drama with urban decay and true-crime dread.

Overview: In the summer of 1977, New York was a city in crisis. Paralyzed by a citywide blackout, political strife, and the Son of Sam killing spree, the Big Apple was burning. Rising out of this troubled urban landscape to bring hope and inspiration came one of baseball's most storied franchises, The New York Yankees.
