DVD Reviews of City of Champions: The Best of Boston Sports
DVD Review: Perfect for Boston Sports Junkies
Summary: 5 Stars
I just received this in the mail a couple of days ago, and I've already watched it twice (extras included) and started annoying my friends that they need to watch it. I grew up in Massachusetts and it blows my mind at how much of the sporting events in this DVD triggers memories -- I almost flipped when I saw a clip of Yaz's last game in 1983....I was there, at the age of 9, with my mother and brother, sitting in the bleachers of Fenway. It's my first distinct memory of a professional baseball game. I also remember watching the "Snow Bowl" a couple of years ago -- sitting in my living room in D.C. with a friend from Massachusetts, both of us having a twinge of home sickness.
What I also like about City of Champions is all the historic stuff that I wouldn't have even known -- I was floored when I realized that Phil Rizzuto played for the Bruins at one point (go ahead hard-core hockey fans, you can pick on me). But then again, my parents are originally from Buffalo, so I had all the history about the Sabres available.
The only disappointment in this DVD -- and it's VERY MINOR -- is the very small focus on the boxing folks from the area. Marvelous Marvin, Rocky Marciano, Micky Ward, etc. These guys provided some exciting matches. But, I can't complain too loud since all the interviews, clips and music videos are phenonemal.
