There are some sports events and athletes that everybody knows about, including the Miracle on Ice, Muhammad Ali and Lou Gehrig. Over time, though, some of the items associated with them have either gone missing or been misidentified. On "Sports Detectives," private investigator Kevin Barrows and sports reporter Lauren Gardner travel across America in an attempt to locate the items to help put back together pieces of the country's sports history. Over the course of the series, Barrows and Gardner go in search of the ball Wilt Chamberlain used when he scored 100 points in 1962, the gold medal Ali won at the 1960 Olympics and the saddlecloth from Triple Crown winner Secretariat's Kentucky Derby victory in 1973.

Aerial America

Some people like to hop in a car to take a road trip across America, visiting as many landmarks as possible along the way. Since such a trek can take a while to complete, taking a flight across America might be a better option for some people.

Cameras capture the history and pageantry of America as they zoom over busy cityscapes and quiet, rural lands. Many episodes focus on a specific state, showcasing highlights of the state's beauty, while others revolve around themes such as the best small towns and natural wonders found in the country.
