5.0 out of 5 stars BILLY MARTIN TALKING STRAIGHT BASEBALL, November 26, 2008

This review is from: Billy Martin: The Man. The Myth. The Manager. (DVD)

This was filmed shortly before Martin died and it was intended to be lessons about baseball, of which he shares many, and not necessarily an encompassing video of his career, manager or player. I highly doubt that he could have obtained the rights to the footage of his classic dirt kicking and fights with umpires and Reggie.

This film is introduced by Micky Mantle in an elegiac fashion due to its completion right after Billy's death.

Most of the film is Martin talking the nuts and bolts and stories of his time in baseball as a manager and player. If you are a true baseball fan you will love this as I do. He discusses his tenure as a player and how he swiftly moved up the ranks in coaching due to his baseball acumen. This IS THE REAL Billy Martin! That's worth the price of admission alone.

The last section of the video is dedicated to former players and managers talking about playing for and against him. It is very touching. It's worth the buy just to see Ricky Henderson cry from his love of Martin.

Star players and managers, Billy Martin talking baseball, and a tribute. This is about the man, not "The Bronx Is Burning."

If only Billyball were still being played today.

The movie is great on the life of Billy Martin with the Yankee years. He had the greatest mind for baseball. I've watched it many times. Well worth the money.

Watching this DVD gives one a deep appreciation for how good of a manager Billy Martin was. Suffering in Milwaukee with the Brewers reveals how much a talented manager can in fact bring to a ball club. You were and will always be #1 Billy.
