Editorial Reviews

1966 - BALTIMORE ORIOLES vs LOS ANGELES DODGERS 1970 - BALTIMORE ORIOLES vs CINCINNATI REDS 1983 - BALTIMORE ORIOLES vs PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES All the glory and classic moments of the Orioles World Series Championships from 1966 to 1983 are digitally preserved on this official DVD. Spanning three decades and three managers--Hank Bauer, Earl Weaver, and Joe Altobelli--the enduring, common trait of the Baltimore Orioles® success was stellar pitching, well-timed power, and peerless defense. The arrival of Frank Robinson in 1966 catapulted the Orioles to their first Fall Classic®. Baltimore's pitchers dominated, holding the Los Angeles Dodgers® to just two runs--for the entire four-game World Series. Four Octobers later, the Birds power hitting and fielding were on display. The rally-ending defense of Brooks Robinson and the club's 10 home runs in five games helped the O's to a second Championship. In 1983, the familiar formula and a familiar face held an encore. The Orioles staff, including Jim Palmer who provided a bridge to the 1966 victors, stifled the Philadelphia Phillies® allowing only seven runs over the five games.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must for ANY Baltimore Orioles Fan, December 12, 2007

This review is from: MLB Vintage World Series Films - Baltimore Orioles 1966, 1970 & 1983 (DVD)

As a fan of the Baltimore Orioles, we really haven't had much to cheer about in the last ten years.

It's nice that MLB put the World Series Films from all three Orioles championships on one DVD.

Each film runs about 40 minutes long with highlights from each game.

1966 - The Orioles shock the world and beat the favored LA Dodgers behind the masterful pitching of Jim Palmer, Wally Bunker, and Dave McNally. Homeruns from Paul Blair, and Brooks and Frank Robinson helped too.

1970 - Possibly the best team in Birds history. McNally, Palmer, and Mike Cuellar provide the pitching. Boog Powell and the Robinsons provide the power to beat the mighty Big Red Machine with Pete Rose, Johnny Bench, and Tony Perez.

1983 - The last hurrah. The Birds have a brilliant mix of veterans like Rick Dempsey and Jim Palmer, and young players Eddie Murray and Cal Ripken Jr. to beat the Philadelphia Phillies in five.

Next year will be 25 long years since the last championship.

As for the MLB logo at the top of the screen mentioned by the other reviewer. I agree, it's completely unnecessary, but after like five minutes, you really don't notice it.

Don't let that prevent you from two hours of Baltimore Orioles glory.

Very good DVD. Entertaining review of three world championship seasons ... Brooks and Frank Robinson were unbelieveable! And three different managers took them to the top -- Hank Bauer, Earl Weaver and Joe Altobelli. Thoroughly enjoyed.

Wish the video was longer, which would allow more detail and video of each worlds series and maybe a review of each season.
