5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Have for Cardinals Fans, April 30, 2006

This review is from: The St. Louis Cardinals - Greatest Games of Busch Stadium 1966-2005 (DVD)

I got my set last week and the only time I'm not watching it is when I'm watching us play live.

It's great to have all of these classic games on DVD and be able to experience once again all of these classic moments that helped shape the history of the franchise and Busch Stadium itself.

The games are presented as they were seen on telivision with the commercial breaks edited out. The footage was taken from the original master tapes and do contain some minor visual and audio imperfections, as mentioned at the beginning of each disc. They are nothing to worry about however as they don't take away any of the joy of being able to see these games again.

Each game comes in it's own slim case and the covers for each game have the box scores and other stats and trivia facts.

The sixth disc, game 7 of the 2004 NLCS, contains all the special features including Hall of Fame moments, interviews and the Fox footage of Jim Edmonds' dramatic game winning homer in Game 6.

This is a set that no Cardinals fan with a DVD player should be without.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bob Gibson vs 31-game winner McLain in 68WS opener!!!!, May 11, 2006

This review is from: The St. Louis Cardinals - Greatest Games of Busch Stadium 1966-2005 (DVD)

In 1968, I was ten years old and living with my grandparents. I can remember sprinting home from school to watch the end of the first game of the World Series with the pitching match-up of 31-game winner Denny McLain and NL strikeout and ERA king Bob Gibson. By the time I got home, McLain was already out of the game! Of course, Gibson goes on to set the WS strikeout record dramatically in the top of the ninth inning. What's so great now is that I'm watching it 40 years later on a 42" plasma and not Grandma's crappy old b&w tv! You can see the sweat dripping off Gibson in that HOT Busch Stadium October game. See two classic teams (Kaline, Maris, Brock, Gibson, Flood, McCarver), hear Curt Gowdy and Harry Cary describe the action, look into the stands and see everyone in white shirts and skinny black ties!! See Gibson strikeout 17 Tigers! This game alone is worth the price of the set! You won't be disappointed!
