Ken Burns headed out on the road this summer to promote his upcoming film, The Tenth Inning and Washington, DC was his first stop. Burns was at Nationals Park on June 8, 2010 for the debut of Stephen Strasburg when the Washington Nationals hosted the Pittsburgh Pirates. Prior to the game, Ken answered a few questions and then threw out the first pitch. The website features a few photos from that day.
