1972 - OAKLAND ATHLETICS vs CINCINNATI REDS 1973 - OAKLAND ATHLETICS vs NEW YORK METS 1974 - OAKLAND ATHLETICS vs LOS ANGELES DODGERS 1989 - OAKLAND ATHLETICS vs SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS All the glory and classic moments of the Oakland A's World Series Championships from 1972 to 1989 are digitally preserved in this one-of-a-kind DVD. This DVD features the vintage official World Series® films of the Oakland A's® World Championships from 1972, 1973, 1974, and 1989. Catfish Hunter's pitching led the way in 1972 against the Cincinnati Reds® when six of the seven games were decided by one run. The 1974 Fall Classic® versus the Los Angeles Dodgers® featured the hitting of Joe Rudi and Bert Campaneris, and pitcher Ken Holtzman's timely home run that sealed the A's third title in a row and place in history. Fifteen year later the A's met the San Francisco Giants® in a historic World Series. After the A's won the first two games, Game Three was delayed ten days by an earthquake that left sixty-seven people dead and rolled destruction across sections of the Bay Area. After much consideration, the World Series continued with Oakland sweeping all four games.

This DVD is great for any A's fan or just baseball fans in general. This DVD has 4 seperate films you can choose from on the main screen that document that year's world series. These were also made in the year that the series was played. I enjoyed seeing the footage of A's greats like Catfish Hunter, Reggie Jackson, Vida Blue, Terry Steinbach, Mark McGwire, Dave Stewart, and Blinkie McBlinkerson.....errr I mean Jose Canseco.

I was 12-14 living in Sacramento when these three world series were going on. The Oakland A's just came out of nowhere to shock the world and I was there and loving it. Very nice to see those wild crazy swinging A's again. I very much enjoyed watching these highlights and if you are a A's fan you will have to have this. Reggie, Campy, Geno, Catfish, Blue Moon, Rudi, Rollie, Sal the captain. Some of the most memorable characters in baseball history and they were one of my favorite teams (the Giants being the other) of all time. Not a steroid in sight just a bunch of good ball players clicking together (and fighting each other) and having fun. Oh and Charlie O the mule, can't forget him.

Just get this and enjoy.
