Official MLB World Series Film Collection - Relive Historic Baseball Moments | Perfect for Fans, Collectors & Sports Enthusiasts

Because I love the World Series so much and bemoan each autumn when it's over, I was given this impressively high quality set as a Christmas gift by my husband. That definitely qualifies him as the true Santa! We were both highly impressed with the quality of this collection. The DVD's are encased in very heavy cardstock pages with full-color photos. Each series is the official MLB World Series record. For example, the 1988 series we watched this week is identical to the old VHS version I purchased years ago.It is thrilling to watch all the great moments captured on film of the exploits of legendary players from many years. It is like sitting down with good friends to relive some wonderful memories vicariously with them via our HD big screen.The collection comes in a high-quality, very durable book binding format with additional heavy cardstock pages of photos and baseball history from 1903 onward. And this exceptional book is enclosed in an equally strong "slide-in box" covered in the same material as the book. It truly is an heirloom record to be viewed, enjoyed, and passed on to younger generations as the years go by.The quality of the video images is obviously only as good as the technical equipment available at the time each World Series event was filmed. That means the motion film record starts in 1943 and is in black and white. As the technology improved, the actual footage is more clear and changes to color, then to high definition.These films also capture other aspects of Americana. For example, the initial series of this DVD set, filmed in 1943, shows the crowd in the stadium with men in their vested suits, ties, and hats and women in their suits and high heels. The commentary includes several reminders and wishes for the American armed services personnel fighting both in Europe and in the Pacific in World War II.No more MLB-World-Series-fall-withdrawal-pains for me any longer; I look forward to viewing this set all year long.For the baseball lover in your life, I definitely recommend purchasing this item as a gift (even for yourself).
