Product Description
This five-DVD collection features 17 official New York Yankees World Series:No other team in Major League Baseball history has had such an unparalleled record as the New York Yankees. In these remarkable 17 World Series films, the legendary Bronx Bombers create an unmatched championship legacy for the ages.The Fall Classic films in this collection include:*The Yankees five titles in a row (1949-1953)*Dynasties with Joe DiMaggio, Mickey Mantle, Thurman Munson, and Reggie Jackson*The four titles in five season by Joe Torre and Derek JeterAll the glory and timeless moments from 17 New York Yankees World Series Championships are digitally preserved on this one-of-a-kind five-DVD Collection.Disc 1: 1943, 1947, 1949, 1950Disc 2: 1951, 1952, 1953, 1956Disc 3: 1958, 1961, 1962, 1977Disc 4: 1978, 1996, 1998Disc 5: 1999, 2000
Covering five DVDs, 12 hours, and a span of 58 years, Vintage World Series Films: New York Yankees is a sweeping time capsule of the history of the Bronx Bombers, and of baseball itself. These are the official films produced by Major League Baseball to summarize each year's World Series, and that means 17 films for the Yankees between 1943 and 2000 ranging from a brief 22 minutes (1943) to over an hour each (the later series). That also means you can see in action some of the great Yankees of the past, including Joe DiMaggio, Yogi Berra, Mickey Mantle, Whitey Ford, Reggie Jackson, and Derek Jeter, plus Hall of Fame opponents such as Jackie Robinson and Willie Mays. And the list of great World Series moments includes Bill Bevens' 1947 almost-no-hitter and Dodger Al Gionfriddo's catch that same year, Tommy Henrich's 1949 walk-off home run (Mickey Owen's dropped third strike after Henrich's strikeout is not here; that was in 1941), Don Larsen's 1956 perfect game, and Reggie Jackson's 1977 home run trio. No, these aren't the complete games, and the constant MLB logo in the corner of the screen seems like an unnecessary intrusion, but baseball fans will find it a treat to have these available at all. --David Horiuchi

Yes...THE BEST OF THE BEST ...what more needs to be said about the greatest sports franchise in sports history. All the great players , all the great plays from 1943-2000. Non believers and Yankee haters take note...buy, watch and enjoy these DVD'S...they are baseball history..they are baseball at it's finest...Joe D, The Mick, Yogi, Reggie, Jeter and a cast of other greats have made and will continue to make great baseball history for as long as baseball is played...It's to bad films from the other 10 New York Yankee World Series Wins do not exist...would love to have had those included....A GREAT BUY !!!!!!!
CLASSIC YANKEES, YOU GOTTA HAVE IT ! ! ! March 27, 2010
James L. Dickinson (Temecula, CA USA)
It is so cool seeing the old videos from 1943-on and to flashback to see some of the greatest players of all time running around during the fall classic. The old footage from the 60s & 70s was really great for me since i was a kid then and remember a lot of those players. The 1940s and 1950s is also classic for the very reason if to see joltin Joe and Whitey Ford, Larson's perfecto. I want to mention one thing I noticed in (I think) the 1943 highlights. Did anyone else notice that someone for the Yanks was wearing number 3? Also another player was wearing numger 5 that is Joltin Joe's number??? I know Joe was off in the WWII so I find it odd they let someone else wear his number and then to see Babe Ruth's number being used just 8 years after he is retired. There may have been more number swaping but those are the two that I noticed. Anyway a great package for any Yankee fan or Baseball fan in general. Get it if you can. I got mine for $25 so I could not pass on that.

Whether you are a Yankee fan or not these videos contain rare footage of the Yankees 17 World Series wins from 1947 to 2000. You will see rare footage of Shibe Park, Ebbets Field, The Polo Grounds, Crosley Field, Original Milwaukee County Stadium, and of course, old Yankee Stadium before the renovations. These are complete highlights of each of the 17 Series wins. If you were to purchase these individually you would pay several hundred dollars. The quality is very good considering the age of the original broadcasts. I have thoroughly enjoyed watching these classic games from the past. They are a must for avid historical baseball fans who would like to add to their collection. The 1958 World Series on are broadcast in color.
