Overview

• ESPN released the three-part series on the ESPN App for ESPN Unlimited subscribers in late September.
• Ben Affleck serves as executive producer and appears on screen, with Matt Damon featured and Bill Burr providing narration alongside other Boston voices.
• Former players interviewed include David Ortiz, Johnny Damon, Kevin Millar and Bronson Arroyo, with notable screen time for Curt Schilling.
• Critics highlight a nostalgia-driven approach and uneven style that leans on animation and de facto narration by Dennis Lehane and Devin Gordon.
• Manny Ramirez does not appear, and the series pushes beyond on-field recap to address Boston’s history, ownership, race and class, with Neil deGrasse Tyson used as a Yankees fan surrogate.
