Editorial Reviews

From the back cover
All the glory and classic moments of the Oakland A's World Series Championships from 1972 to 1989 are digitally preserved in this one-of-a-kind DVD.

Catfish Hunter's pitching led the way in 1972 against the Cincinnati Reds when six of the seven games were decided by one run. The 1974 Fall Classic versus the Los Angeles Dodgers featured the hitting of Joe Rudi and Bert Campaneris, but it was pitcher Ken Holtzman's timely home run that sealed the A's third title in a row and place in history. Fifteen year later the A's met the San Francisco Giants in a Series that was delayed ten days after an earthquake in the Bay Area left sixty-seven people dead. After much consideration, the World Series continued, and Oakland swept all four games.

5.0 out of 5 stars Witness the greatest moments in A's history !, August 8, 2006

By	Andrew M. Yellenik (Castro Valley, Ca USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

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.
