the big Red Machine April 19, 2008
34 out of 34 found this review helpful
This has been put up there as the greatest or one of the greatest World Series ever played. It has all the credentials. Sparky Anderson had put together a great team that would remain great for many years. They had Tony Perez, Joe Morgan, Pete Rose, Johnny Bench and more. The Red Sox had Jim Rice, Fred Lynn and Carl Yastremski for an outfield and Carlton Fisk for a catcher. Yet it is the little known player not destined for Cooperstown who sometimes have a big moment in the World Series. Billy Martin and Bobby Richarson for the 1952 and 1960 Yankees respectively. Al Gionfreddo for his catch on Joe D. in 1947. Sandy Amoros for his catch on Yogi Barra in 1955 and many others. In this series there was a very clutch home run by Bernie Carbo of the Reds.
Of course the most famous home run of th series was Carlton Fisk's because
(1) It won game 6 for the Red Sox and (2) it took the series to a decisive 7th game and (3) it was so close to the left field foul pole that Fisk went down the first base line and tried to "wave" the ball fair (a very familiar sight every time the home run is shown).
A Moving Experience June 22, 2007
I was 13 in 1975 and of course these games are a part of my experience growing up in Cincinnati. But I have been living overseas since the 80's - far removed from baseball. Just watching Pete Rose up to bat the first time in the first inning of game one was a completely moving and emotional experience. That round sets the tone for the rest of the games. And somehow I noticed, the baseball I've seen recently does not measure up at all. Baseball lost something in the 30 years that have gone by. The players all seem faceless to me, the games mechanical. This wordl series is baseball played by the gods.
I highly recommend this set for anyone who has missed baseball for a while, or as a present to introduce the sport to someone in a non-baseball country.
Count this review 10 stars, please.
Excellent DVD May 7, 2007
As soon as I began watching these DVD's, it was almost like I was sitting in my parent's living room just 31 short years ago. The quality of the DVD was excellent...almost like it was live right now. I have been a Reds' fan for my entire life and this DVD brought back all of the great moments of The Big Red Machine. This is a DVD that all Reds' fans must have. Your Reds' library is imcomplete without this treasure.
OMG, this is REDS baseball Heaven April 23, 2007

If you are a REDS fan, this is stepping back into time to one of the greatest times in baseball history. What can be said about this except can we also have the 1976 and 1990 World Series and playoff games as well. I can watch these everyday without tiring of them, just incredible. Takes me back to being a kid again and all my hero's are there for me to love all over again. A must buy for any Reds or just baseball fan.

I don't think I've every purchased a birthday gift that my husband has loved as much as these DVDs. And (we) don't think there was a greater group of ball players than the "75" reds. So worth the money! And, P.S.,Peter Rose still deserves to be in the Baseball Hall of Fame!!
