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.

My husband got this video for Christmas and has seen it several times since then. It is entertaining and well done

In the 70's, when I was in high school, the A's were my favorite baseball team. Back then you could order highlight reels but they came in black and white and you had to have a projector to watch them. I literally stumbled across this dvd while browsing around Amazon and had to have it. I now have realized just how wide a variety Amazon offers....I have found stuff at a way better price than say Wal Mart.Thanks Amazon.

Any SF Bay Area native should buy this DVD! All Baseball fans and History buffs should also buy this DVD!!

This was an excellent video. I've been a fan of the A's since they arrived from Kansas City. It was great watching all the legendary player together again. It didn't get any better than that.

If you've seen previous World Series VHS tapes, then you're not missing anything if you pass up the older Series DVD's because they are merely the tapes put onto DVD. It sure would have been nice if they had "cleaned up" footage somehow because I see the same rough spots and ticks, etc that I saw in the VHS tapes when they first came out. Some new or different footage would've been a treat to those of us who have seen the VHS tapes before. Each World Series shows WAY too much fan reaction and crowd shots and the sort while not concentrating on the action afield enough - this must be MLB's way of showing they care about fans (rolling eyes); the 1989 Series film was the worst by far. So if you already have the VHS tapes of your team's World Series appearances, DO NOT get this.

A&E did a nice job with this DVD. The extra attention given to the 89 series during the quake copies most of the 1989 World Series VHS version. Anyone who rooted for the A's in the last 40 years would enjoy this colllection. The fact that the SF Giants were unable to win any titles during their 50 years in the Bay Area makes it that more special. However my view of this collection does include the fact that I myself can be seen on it. During the 1989 portion, I am standing behind the "Welcome Back Ricky" banner clapping my hands. this is the same video from the 1989 World Series Vhs version.I am wesring black sunglasses and have my hat turned around backwards.

Very disappointed. i wanted and expected the full 1973 World Series. Not impressed that it's just highlights.
