 Rating:  - A's world seriesVery disappointed. i wanted and expected the full 1973 World Series. Not impressed that it's just highlights. Rating:  - You can see me in this DVDA&E did a nice job with this DVD. The extra attention given to the 89 series during the quake copies most of the 1989 World Series VHS version. Anyone who rooted for the A's in the last 40 years would enjoy this colllection.

Rating: - Some Video Restoration Would've Been NiceIf you've seen previous World Series VHS tapes, then you're not missing anything if you pass up the older Series DVD's because they are merely the tapes put onto DVD.

Some new or different footage would've been a treat to those of us who have seen the VHS tapes before. Each World Series shows far too much "fan reaction" and the ...

This DVD has 4 seperate films you can choose from on the main screen that document that year's world series. These were also made in the year that the series was played. I enjoyed seeing the footage of A's greats like Catfish Hunter, Reggie Jackson, Vida Blue, Terry Steinbach, Mark McGwire, Dave Stewart, and Blinkie McBlinkerson.....errr I mean Jose Canseco.
