ESPN Mini-Series Moves to Tuesday Nights

Episode 2 of ESPN Original Entertainment's "The Bronx is Burning" will air Tuesday night at 10 p.m. on ESPN, an advertisement for the mini-series said.

The eight-part mini-series chronicles the New York Yankees and baseball's triumph over the turmoil and hysteria that scarred New York City in the summer of 1977.

During the season, the Yankees came to embody the hopes and fears of all New Yorkers, as seen in the show through manager Billy Martin, superstar Reggie Jackson and owner George Steinbrenner.

Oliver Platt stars in the series as Steinbrenner, alongside John Turturro who stars as Martin.
