St. Louis Cardinals: 2011 World Series Collectors Edition



One of Most Exciting World Series in Years
I understand all the complaints. I believe I am the first to review the actual DVDs. By the fifth inning of the first game, I forgot my issues with picture quality and started to enjoy the games. By most any measure, Game 6 is one of greatest games in World Series history. And that's the way it comes across here, with all the post-game interviews and comments included. In my case, some of the post-game stuff is new because my local station cut in with the "11 o'clock news." But, all the games are interesting...seven game World Series with two evenly-matched teams are very rare these days.

I am disappointed with the Bonus DVD, which is a recap of the two playoff series, and a small portion of the Cardinals victory parade. Why bother, if that's all you show?

For Cardinal fans (like me) who are upset about Albert Pujols leaving for the Angels, it was chance to watch Albert for one last time. I am angry about Pujols leaving, but again the World Series is so...

Additional audio tracks are a great feature
This complete collection of every minute of play from every game of the 2011 World Series -- one of the most exciting in decades -- is an essential addition the the collection of any baseball fan. From Albert Pujols' historic barrage in Game Three to the remarkably dramatic Game Six comeback(s) to the final out of Game Seven, it is all here in crystal clear video. Even if you are not a Cardinals fan (but especially if you are!) this is just the thing to get you through the long winter before the start of spring training.

I last purchased one of these collectors boxes back in 2006 (connect the dots ...). A new feature since then which is worth mentioning is that you can now choose from a total of four audio tracks: the FOX television broadcast (Joe Buck, Tim McCarver), the Spanish language telecast, and local radio broadcasts from St Louis and Texas. This is a real treat for fans like me who listen to a lot of games on the radio and enjoy listening to the home town...

The Greatest Game of All Time
This box set is INCREDIBLE! All the Fox broadcasts with alternate audio (that doesn't always line up perfect). Each DVD has its own case that has statistics and the inning by inning breakdown in the liner notes. The games all look great. Game 6 is INCREDIBLE!!!!!! Watching the last 5 innings of that game will give ANY baseball fan goosebumps. This was the best World Series of my lifetime. The DVD's are great and the packaging and presentation is fantastic. WATCH GAME 6, AMAZING!!!
