Product features:
- 1945: The end of World War II led to the return of many Americans to their pre-war livelihoodsâ??including Detroit Tigers starter Virgil Trucks. Aided by Trucks, along with the 1945 American League MVP Hal Newhouser and Hank Greenberg, the Tigers won in seven games.
- 1968: The Tigersâ?? 1968 season was dominated by pitching, and the World Series showcased three of the best; 30-game winner Denny McClain faced the Cardinalsâ?? Bob Gibson in Game 1 as Gibson struck out a record seventeen Tigers. From there, Mickey Lolich took control with three complete-game wins.
- 1984: Coach Sparky Anderson led the Tigers to a record-setting start of the 1984 season culminating with 104 regular season wins, a sweep of the ALCS, and a World Series win. Jack Morris, Alan Trammell, and Kirk Gibson set the pace as the Tigers became only the third MLB club to go wire-to-wire.

DVD Reviews of MLB Vintage World Series Films - Detroit Tigers 1945, 1968 & 1984
DVD Review: Doing a heck of a job, A & E
Summary: 3 Stars
It's never a good thing when you put a DVD into the player and the first thing that pops up on the TV screen is a disclaimer that states that all audio and video glitches contained herein were present on the master tapes from which the presentation was transferred. Specifically, in this case, the disclaimer refers to the 1984 World Series highlights, which have been available on VHS for years sans glitches (at least the copy in my garage isn't this beat up). Obviously, one has to wonder what else is going on the Major League Baseball's video vault if the "master" tapes are allowed to deteriorate this badly, but would it really have been that difficult for A & E to fix these errors?
Also--it would be awesome to see the entire 1984 series released on DVD after all these years, but what are the odds of any non-seven game, non-New York series ever seeing the light of day in this manner? Maybe I shouldn't complain--at least this half-baked effort is out there when we have yet to see so much as a highlight DVD of the 1997 Cleveland-Florida World Series.
Worth owning if you're a Tiger fan, but nothing new.
