MLB Vintage World Series Films - New York Yankees: 17 Championship Seasons 1943-2000
Covering five DVDs, 12 hours, and a span of 58 years,Vintage World Series Films: New York Yankeesis 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 thecomplete 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
