There is nothing in sports on par with the seventh game of the World Series.
It's the guaranteed last game of a 28-team quest that begins in February. For a great number of those teams, that quest begins in Florida. For the first time ever--the quest this year also ended in Florida.
The five-year-old Florida Marlins combined the wily leadership and manager Jim Leyland with a team built through shrewd draft picks, trades, and talented free agents. They won the National League wild card--then became the first wild card team to reach the World Series by sweeping the Giants and shocking the Braves.
The Cleveland Indians were a far different team than the one that battled in the 1995 World Series. This year, nobody expected them to beat the Yankees or the Orioles--but somehow they did.
And so, these two underdog warriors slugged it out in the heat and snow of the World Series until they reached that quintessential moment--Game Seven. Even then, it went on--into the 11th inning--the second longest Game Seven in history--before Edgar Renteria sent all of Florida into a state of delirious celebration.
This official sports documentary has it all: the stunning performance of 22-year-old Cuban Livan Hernandez, MVP of both the League Championship Series and the World Series, incredibly reunited with his mother for the ultimate game; the memorable play of Sandy Alomar, Omar Vizquel, Darren Daulton, Moises Alou, Marquis Grissom and pitcher Chad Ogea; the chess match played by managers Mike Hargrove and Jim Leyland; the joy and heartbreak of fans from Little Havana to the Flats.
This commemorative video includes: exclusive player interviews; exclusive game, postgame, and victory rally footage; plus Division Series and League Championship Series highlights.
