Great research, rare footage,

This review is from: 100 Years of the World Series (DVD)
What I like about this World Series dvd is Bob Costas's narration, it's obvious that Bob loves baseball and he has a way to explain what we see with enthousiasm. I was REALLY surprised and exited when I saw Grover Cleveland Alexander come out of the bullpen in the 7th inning of the 7th game in the 1926 WS. Seeing that Lazerri at-bat vs Alexander was a dream come true.

More Essential Baseball Viewing,
By A Customer
This review is from: 100 Years of the World Series (DVD)
This 2DVD set is an incredible value -- it has over 5 1/2 hours of great footage for around 15 bucks. Whoever put this documentary together did a tremendous job of coming up with basically all of the actual footage of key plays and moments in the history of the World Series that you could ask for (even all the way back to the beginning), and tracked down interview footage from the key participants. I rated the 2DVD Yankee history set as also being essential -- basically, this makes an excellent companion. The World Series set might appeal to baseball fans in general a bit more, because even though it has tons of Yankee footage (obviously), there is of footage of most of the guys you'd want to see (Mays, Aaron, Bonds, Williams, Brooklyn Dodgers/NY Giants, etc.) Very compelling viewing, whether you're a novice fan or someone who has seen decades worth of baseball - it brought back a ton of great memories and makes you realize how often there are really great, historic moments in virtually every Series.

Every baseball fan must own this DVD,
By A Customer
This review is from: 100 Years of the World Series (DVD)
As a big baseball fan and huge Dodger fan, this video tells us houw great the game of baseball is and how the World Series has changed not only sports in general, but this nation and even the world. It shows us how powerful this event is that not even wars, terrorist attacks and an earthquake can stop the importance of this game (maybe a labor dispute). Bob Costas does a great job on narrating this film and the interviews from players, broadcasters and historians give us a clear view on how the game was played during that year. One thing that did dissapoint me was the lack of credit for Fernando Valenzuela in the 1981 Series, He was not only ROY and CY winner, but helped the Dodgers capture their title that year. another thing was that I was expecting to see the 2003 World Series, but I am sure this video came out before that. Other than that, the video is a must for every baseball fan. Hope the World Series lasts another 100 years....after all, its alot more exciting than the other overhyped championship game with the roman numerals and fancy halftime shows and special commercials
