Re-live an incredible era of Cardinals history! With this amazing compilation DVD, you get Major League Baseball's official World Series films for all three of St. Louis' 1960s appearances. From the speed of Lou Brock and Curt Flood, to the power of Roger Maris and "El Birdo" Orlando Cepeda, to the legendary battery of Tim McCarver and Bob Gibson, to the rest of the great starters and role players, this was a glorious era in Major League Baseball history - and these films are absolute classics! First, the 1964 World Series film, featuring all the action from Busch Stadium (formerly Sportsman's Park) and pre-renovation Yankee Stadium, in beautiful color. With narration from legendary broadcaster Harry Caray, and direction from baseball film pioneer Lew Fonseca, this 43-minute feature includes all the key plays: Mike Shannon's 2-run homer that helped beat Whitey Ford in Game 1; Rookie Mel Stottlemyre outduelling Bob Gibson in Game 2; Mickey Mantle's dramatic game-winning walk-off Home Run in Game 3 at Yankee Stadium; Ken Boyer's game-winning Grand Slam in Game 4; McCarver's 10th-inning 3-run shot to give Gibson a victory in Game 5; New York's power display in Game 6; and Gibson's return on two days rest to seal the series victory for St. Louis in Game 7.
Next, the dramatic 1967 series film, featuring another seven-game heartbeaker for the Boston Red Sox. Also narrated by Caray and directed by Fonseca, this film begins with the final day of the season at Fenway Park, with fans swarming the field to celebrate victory in the unprecedented 4-way pennant race. This 42-minute feature has all the big moments: triple-crown winner Carl Yastrzemski's amazing defensive plays going for naught in a 2-1 Bob Gibson victory in Game 1; Yaz's two homers and Jim Lonborg's breathtaking one-hitter in Game 2; decisive Cardinals victories in Games 3 and 4 at brand-new Busch Stadium; another Lonborg masterpiece in Game 5 to send the series back to Boston; the Red Sox' late offensive barrage in Game 6 to square the series; and Gibson once again pitching a Game 7 complete game masterpiece that brought misery to Fenway yet again.
Finally, it's the 1968 film, narrated by Hall of Fame broadcaster Curt Gowdy, featuring the miraculous comeback 7-game victory for the Detroit Tigers over the Cards. With amazing highlights from MLB film cameras and NBC television coverage, you get all the action from this legendary Fall Classic: Bob Gibson's record-setting 17 strikeouts and 6th-straight World Series win in Game 1; Mickey Lolich's 2-hitter in Game 2 to even the series (and comments from Mickey himself on his first career Home Run); Awesome pictures of grand old Tiger Stadium from Cardinals victories in Games 3 and 4, and from Detroit's 5-3 victory in Game 5 that includes Bill Freehan discussing his play at the plate to tag out Lou Brock; Detroit's 10-run 3rd inning that blew away the Cards in Game 6; and Curt Flood's notorious misplay of Jim Northrup's fly ball that led to the winning runs in Detroit's thrilling Game 7 victory. From the first pitch of Game 1, to McCarver's meek foul popup to end the series, all the important action is here!
With rare, historic coverage that also includes stars Joe Pepitone, Elston Howard, Clete Boyer, Bobby Richardson, Rico Petrocelli, George Scott, Reggie Smith, Willie Horton, Norm Cash, Al Kaline, Dick McAuliffe, Denny McLain, Dal Maxvill, Bill White, Steve Carlton, Nelson Briles, and many more, this is an amazing find for any fan. Whether you are a fan of the Cardinals, Yankees, Red Sox or Tigers, this is a must-have for your collection!
