Editorial Reviews

From the back cover

The 1966 Fall Classic featured the powerful pitching staff of the Los Angeles Dodgers versus the defense and potent lineup of the Baltimore Orioles. The first World Series in Baltimore also showcased the amazing Sandy Koufax, 20-year-old Jim Palmer, and Triple Crown winner Frank Robinson. Robinson's solo home run in Game Four supplied the only scoring and provided Baltimore with a sweep of the Series. The Orioles' clinching shutout extended the Dodger's scoreless streak to 33 consecutive innings.

2.0 out of 5 stars '66 Series a Yawner, March 16, 2004

This review is from: 1966 World Series - Baltimore Orioles vs. Los Angeles Dodgers [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is unquestionably the dullest World Series highlight film of the 1960s. Utterly and almost comically inept at the plate, the Dodgers were never in it, as they were swept by the underdog Orioles. This version of the Baltimore Orioles was the progenitor of the mini-dynasty O's of a few years hence. The highlights of this film are few: Brooks Robinson's jaunty home run trot in Game One at Dodger Stadium, Willie Davis's three centerfield miscues in one inning in Game Two, cancer victim and former Orioles' catcher Dick Brown tossing out the first ball in Game Three (Brown had only a few months to live.), and young Jim Palmer besting Sandy Koufax in Koufax's last game ever in Game Four.
