DVD Reviews of 2006 World Series - Tigers vs. Cardinals (The Official Highlights MLB DVD Release)
DVD Review: Must own for any Cardinals fan
Summary: 5 Stars
If you are a fan of the St.Louis Cardinals pick up this dvd it is a great watch.DVD Review: I think I would have liked a better fight out of the Tigers
Summary: 4 Stars
Although we are reviewing a DVD or VHS tape I do not think that the reviews are intended to get into technical issues about the tape or DVD. It should to the material content, the use of editing and the drama on the field that should be mentioned. I prefer not to worry too much about technical quality. I don't think the differences are that great or that imprtant to mention.
This was a great year for the Tigers. Jim Leyland took over and righted the ship getting the team off to a amazingly great start that helped build their confidence in themselves and their new manager. To come out ahead of the Yankees, Red Sox and the defending Champion Chicago White Sox was a great feat.
The Cardinal who had been humiliated by the Red Sox in 2004 were finally able to bring a championship to St Louis for an Albert Pujols led team. But the Cardinals have the most championships of any National League teaams and the Tigers hadn't won since 1984. But this series was one where the Tigers were dominated.
DVD Review: A Great Compilation of the Greatest Team of All Time
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great way to relive the Cardinals 2006 Championship, which made them the second-winningest team of all time / #1 in the NL.
Go Cards!
DVD Review: Gave me Goosebumps
Summary: 5 Stars
Fantastic video capturing the Highlights of the World Series. I'm, needless to say, a huge cards fan and absolutly love this video. I just ordered the full 8 disk set and can't wait to see all of the games over again!!!! Go Cards!DVD Review: Mmmm.... Satisfying
Summary: 5 Stars
World Series highlight films have come a long way since the Cards' last championship in 1982. Back then, all one had to look forward to for a Series souvenir was a relatively low budget highlight reel, shot on video and narrated by the yeoman-like but predictable Mel Allen ("How 'bout that!") or the adenoidal and ubiquitous Dick Enberg. Having not purchased one of these MLB-sanctioned curios since the `80s, this year's offering was a revelation to me. Surprisingly informative, history-conscious, well produced, appropriately paced, and nicely edited, this is a dream DVD for long-suffering Cardinals fans.
I was a bit tentative when I saw on the cover that it was narrated by a celeb, but was pleasantly surprised to find that Billy Bob Thornton is not only unobtrusive, he actually complements the visuals quite well. Likewise, the player/coach/manager interviews are enjoyable, and it's interesting to hear their perspectives on the action we vicariously experience from our armchairs. Even the musical accompaniment is exceptional, ebbing and flowing with the action yet never overwhelming it.
Naturally, all of the Series highlights are there, as well as those of the LDS's and LCS's - including Endy Chavez's ice cream cone catch of Scott Rolen's would-be home run, Yadier Molina's very real and decisive two-run HR over the head of Chavez, and Adam Wainwright's dramatic, three-pitch strikeout of Carlos Beltran in the ninth inning of game seven of the Cards-Mets NLCS battle of attrition. Tigers fans can relive the joy of watching Magglio Ordonez's AL Pennant-clinching home run leave Comerica Park over and over again.
The rich history of Series meetings between these two flagship franchises is also acknowledged, albeit somewhat briefly, and is accompanied by commentary from Tigers great Al Kaline and Cards icon Bob Gibson.
All in all, a very satisfying package and a thorough overview of the 2006 World Series, which should please casual fans as well as insatiable Cardinals hardcores like myself.
Description of 2006 World Series - Tigers vs. Cardinals (The Official Highlights MLB DVD Release)
From Major League Baseball Productions -- the official highlights DVD of the 2006 World Series!Narrated by Billy Bob Thornton.
It is, quite simply, the beauty of baseball.
The 2006 post-season began with a bevy of favorites. The Detroit Tigers?? tore through the American League?? with their 100 MPH pitchers. The New York Mets?? laid to waste the National League East??. The Oakland A's?? had a starting rotation that frightened most everyone. And the New York Yankees?? featured one of the greatest lineups of all time. The St. Louis Cardinals?? were also in the playoffs -- but just barely. In the final weeks, the Cardinals lost eight of nine, watched their seven game lead disappear and just missed being eliminated. No team that finished a full season with 83 wins had ever won a World Series??. According to experts, the Cardinals had no chance.
And that's the beauty of baseball.
St. Louis beat San Diego in the NLDS?? and shocked the mighty Mets in the NLCS??. In the World Series, they faced the heavily-favored Detroit Tigers team that had a week's worth of rest. But the St. Louis starters and rookie closer Adam Wainright held the Tigers to just eleven runs through five games. Yadier Molina, Scott Rolen and Jim Edmonds came up huge at the plate. And the consummate gamer - 5'7" shortstop David Eckstein hit .364 and became the first National League shortstop to be named World Series MVP.
When the smoke cleared, the Cardinals emerged from the pack of behemoths with the team's 10th World Series victory - the second most of all time. Tony LaRussa became just the second manager in MLB history to win a World Series title in both leagues. It was all inexplicable, delightfully improbable and deliciously poetic. It's the beauty of baseball, and it's why they play the game.
The 2006 World Series: Tigers vs. Cardinals DVD is really the story of the underdog team from St. Louis. Not that the Detroit Tigers are ignored. But the Cardinals took the championship within five games despite a lousy regular season--a mere 83 wins--proving that baseball is not a game of statistics but of whatever dramas are happening on the field in the here-and-now. 2006 World Series, narrated by Cardinals fan Billy Bob Thornton, takes viewers through the team's many post-season dramas, beginning with the National League championship series in which the Cards faced the seemingly superior New York Mets. What matters, the team's players and manager Tony La Russa declare in interviews, is not the numbers but relentless, hard work--keeping the fire alive until something breaks in one's favor. Indeed, as one can see from this disc's thoughtful analysis and great storytelling, things began to click for the Cardinals right when they needed it. Besides taki! ng a close look at the lead-up to the World Series, this documentary dissects each game in the championship competition. (We also see a generous amount of film footage from the last couple of times--most recently in 1968--the Cards faced the Detroit Tigers in the World Series.) There's a lot to love here: action on the field, the history of La Russa's close friendship with Tigers' manager Jim Leyland, player insights, Thornton's compelling narration. Plus some great bonus material, including footage of the suspenseful, final out of the last game between St. Louis and Milwaukee in the 1982 World Series. 60 min. --Tom Keogh
