 A's world series September 8, 2008

A&E did a nice job with this DVD. The extra attention given to the 89 series during the quake copies most of the 1989 World Series VHS version. Anyone who rooted for the A's in the last 40 years would enjoy this colllection. The fact that the SF Giants were unable to win any titles during their 50 years in the Bay Area makes it that more special. However my view of this collection does include the fact that I myself can be seen on it. During the 1989 portion, I am standing behind the "Welcome Back Ricky" banner clapping my hands. this is the same video from the 1989 World Series Vhs version.I am wesring black sunglasses and have my hat turned around backwards.

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.
Some Video Restoration Would've Been Nice September 7, 2006

If you've seen previous World Series VHS tapes, then you're not missing anything if you pass up the older Series DVD's because they are merely the tapes put onto DVD. It sure would have been nice if they had "cleaned up" footage somehow because I see the same rough spots and ticks, etc that I saw in the VHS tapes when they first came out. Some new or different footage would've been a treat to those of us who have seen the VHS tapes before. Each World Series shows far too much "fan reaction" and the sort while not concentrating on the action afield enough; the 1989 Series film was the worst by far.
Witness the greatest moments in A's history ! August 9, 2006

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.
