1.0 out of 5 stars Extremely disappointing, June 9, 2005
This review is from: The World Series 1986: New York Mets v. Boston Red Sox (DVD)
I'm a huge Mets fan and was really excited to watch the highlight film to relive my childhood memories, but this video is poorly produced and falls way short of expectations as I don't think they had the rights to most of the TV broadcasts, therefore you get none of the commentary from the actual games.

Instead half of the video is of the fans reactions in the crowd, poor camera angles (most of the hitting clips are from the side angle like if you wanted to see if there was a check swing) and even a few shots of a PanAm flight as they call the 86 series, the Shuttle Series?!?! There are only a few sound bites from the actual players and the rest is Vin Scully narration which is always solid but I would have liked more from the players and actual commentators - you don't even get the classis call on Mookie's grounder. Take a pass on this video...

5.0 out of 5 stars Another Great Video, June 19, 1999
By A Customer
This is a great video. It shows the drama and excitement of the World Series. Especially the dramatic Game 6 and 7. And Jesse Orosco throwing his glove in the air and I bet it is still up in the air.

Mets Magic in 86 and 99

1.0 out of 5 stars Series was Great but Video falls way short., October 22, 2005

This review is from: The World Series 1986: New York Mets v. Boston Red Sox (DVD)
This is basic stuff.They screwed it up.Show the highlights with the actual announcers calling the actual plays and just sit back and enjoy,right?Not here in this video.Poor very poor.I thank God that I recorded these games then.Even when they play these games back on ESPN Classic and the like they cut out some of the nuances of the games.To hear Vin Scully call a game,well I wish he was still doing it these days for the big games.He's one of a kind.A Poet.One particular line he used that night of Game 6 "If a picture says a thousand words,you have just seen a million","Not only are the Mets alive,they are well and there will be a Game 7"Nuff said.
