5.0 out of 5 stars Great set for any baseball fan, February 15, 2009

A great way to start off the new baseball season. Would be worth it just to own Larsen's Perfect game and the DVD includs the TV and Radio broadcasts of the game. Please take note. The first inning of this game is still "lost" so the TV game broadcast starts with the second batter in the top of the second inning.

Hi Folks,

As a lifetime fan of the Dodgers (as a kid watched my parents glee at the '63 drubbing of the hated Yankees) I can still enjoy a wonderfully put together set of DVDs. the YES network just put on the best shows so YANKEEOLOGY are a great addition to my baseball collection for the terrific footage and lets face it the Yankees are the most honored franchise in history with a history full of great players. I bought this set even though there are no Ruths or Mantles ..because of the HISTORY and DRAMA. Its so fun to watch these games evolve...being in on the joke so to speak and watching and listening to the announcers and crowd finally get the punch line and start rooting. Knowing the outcome doesn't ruin it for me..and the fact that several of these pitchers were in the twilight of their careers is only the better and on Yogi Berra day with Don Larsen in the house?....WOW! and don't get me started on Jim Abbott who started off here with the ANGELS..what an incredible life affirming story his is and this moment is remarkable!

Would I rather it was a Dodger/Koufax set? Of course....a 7 dvd set of all Nolan Ryan no-nos? YES again...but I'm not reviewing what we don't have but what we do have and its some amazingly historical games featuring some heroic performances and you don't have to be a YANKEE fan to be a fan of that!

OH..and the bonus interviews and featurettes are pretty cool as well...
a very nice package to be sure!

my ONE complaint? MLB like the other sports that issue these sets seems to give slightly inconsistent and often de-saturated versions ...even the later games are not great "prints" of the games I'm watching the David Wells game as I write and there just aren't any BLACKS in the image...almost like bootlegs or dupes but the shots of him on the other DVDs being carried off have nicely saturated pictures..poor quality control for an expensive and historical set.

THe previous reviewer should be ashamed of himself. This release is going to bring to DVD one of the lost treasures of baseball history the original TELECAST of Don Larsen's Perfect Game. And yet, he'd rather be petty with his stupid anti-Yankee bias to bitch about why some run of the mill game hasn't been released instead. For shame (maybe to match his standard we should condemn MLB for releasing the 1988 World Series??)
