While Dick Sisler's 10th-inning blast may have eliminated the lovable loser Dodgers and given the Phillies the National League Pennant, the "Whiz Kids" from Philadelphia proved no match for Casey's mighty Yankees in the 1950 World Series. Despite Philly's true love affair with the scrappy young squad, it would be 30 years before the Phillies would celebrate a championship - this was the Yankees' dynasty, after all, and this was only year two of a record five-straight championship seasons! This amazing DVD features Major League Baseball's official film of the 1950 World Series, directed and narrated by baseball film pioneer Lew Fonseca. It incudes all the great moments of the series from Yankee Stadium and grand old Shibe Park in Philly: Vic Raschi's magnificent 1-0 gem in Game 1; the great Robin Roberts-Allie Reynolds pitching duel that was won by Joe DiMaggio's 10th-inning homer; Jimmy Bloodworth's bobble that helped the Yankees come back for a 9th-inning comeback victory in Game 3; and the dramatic series-clinching victory for rookie Whitey Ford in the first of many postseason gems to come! Also featuring appearances from Richie Ashburn, Del Ennis, Mike Goliat, Granny Hamner, Willie Jones, Andy Seminick, Eddie Waitkus, Hank Bauer, Yogi Berra, Bobby Brown, Jerry Coleman, Johnny Mize, Phil Rizzuto, Gene Woodling, and Ed Lopat, these classic star-studded lineups are a thrill to watch, and are an essential part of historic baseball lore.
Impossible to find in stores, here is your chance to add a rare piece of baseball history to your sports DVD collection. Whether you are a lifelong fan looking to re-live the Golden Age of Baseball, or a young enthusiast hoping to explore a long-gone glorious era for the first time, this is for you!
