Covering five DVDs, 12 hours, and a span of 58 years, Vintage World Series Films: New York Yankees is a sweeping time capsule of the history of the Bronx Bombers, and of baseball itself. These are the official films produced by Major League Baseball to summarize each year's World Series, and that means 17 films for the Yankees between 1943 and 2000 ranging from a brief 22 minutes (1943) to over an hour each (the later series). That also means you can see in action some of the great Yankees of the past, including Joe DiMaggio, Yogi Berra, Mickey Mantle, Whitey Ford, Reggie Jackson, and Derek Jeter, plus Hall of Fame opponents such as Jackie Robinson and Willie Mays. And the list of great World Series moments includes Bill Bevens' 1947 almost-no-hitter and Dodger Al Gionfriddo's catch that same year, Tommy Henrich's 1949 walk-off home run (Mickey Owen's dropped third strike after Henrich's strikeout is not here; that was in 1941), Don Larsen's 1956 perfect game, and Reggie Jackson's 1977 home run trio. No, these aren't the complete games, and the constant MLB logo in the corner of the screen seems like an unnecessary intrusion, but baseball fans will find it a treat to have these available at all. --David Horiuchi

5.0 out of 5 stars Vintage Baseball Video, February 8, 2008

By	Del K. Jakabosky "Classic Baseball fan" (Olathe, KS USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Whether you are a Yankee fan or not these videos contain rare footage of the Yankees 17 World Series wins from 1947 to 2000. You will see rare footage of Shibe Park, Ebbets Field, The Polo Grounds, Crosley Field, Original Milwaukee County Stadium, and of course, old Yankee Stadium before the renovations. These are complete highlights of each of the 17 Series wins. If you were to purchase these individually you would pay several hundred dollars. The quality is very good considering the age of the original broadcasts. I have thoroughly enjoyed watching these classic games from the past. They are a must for avid historical baseball fans who would like to add to their collection. The 1958 World Series on are broadcast in color.
