Best Baseball documentary I've ever seen ! April 17 2004
The best baseball documentary on the market today, great footage, some never seen before, great interviews, the quality is excellant. This is the best way to relive Yankee triumphs and certain tradgedies.
I would recommend this dvd to all baseball history buffs.

Must-Have DVD for Yankee Fans April 12 2004
This is a tasteful videography of the New York Yankees history from 1903 - 2003. Is it complete? Not even close. But at five hours running time, it contains enough game footage and interviews to keep fans seriously entertained. My favorite part of the two-disc set is the collection of original televised footage and play-by-play. They really brought back some great memories. These include Chris Chambliss' 1976 pennant-winning homer, the pine-tar incident, Bobby Murcer's emotional game-winner on the day of Thurman Munson's funeral, Jim Leyritz' 3-run homer in the 1996 series, and pitching heroics by Larson, Righetti, Wells, and Cone. One gripe - some of the footage repeats itself on a bonus disc mini-documentary. I would have preferred less Bob Costas and David Halberstam and more magical moments, like the complete play-by-play of Bucky Dent's famous home run against the Bosox in 1978, or Reggie's 3-homer game in the 1977 World Series, or Ron Guidry's 18-strikeout performance. These were all covered in the documentary, but it would have been nice to have more of the original play-by-play.

Definition of Dynasty Mar 2 2004
To someone who grew up a Yankee fan in New York, it seems that the team somehow dates back to when the Dutch bought Manhattan from the Indians; that when the patriots and the Redcoats fought the Battle of Brooklyn in 1776, the Yankees and Dodgers were playing a World Series game in a field owned by a guy named Ebbitt, not far away. This DVD almost seems to prove that theory.

The story presented on this DVD is nothing really new; I was hoping for something a little different. And the fuzzy sepia tone old footage is as dated as the slurpy strings that accompany them. Still, there is a dignity about this film. For me, there is a sense of security and pride that can only come from Babe Ruth's roguish wink and Lou Gehrig's self-conscious smile. The statistics aren't as impressive as the anecdotes but the interviews are great fun. This is a terrific reminder of the great Yankee tradition and dynasty. And a great reminder that New York and the New York Yankees are inseparable.
