DVD Reviews of New York Yankees: Essential Games of Yankee Stadium (Steelbook)
DVD Review: Like the 2009 Yankees, worth every penny!
Summary: 4 Stars
The marketplace prices make this a steal even if two of the games are available in other sets. To me the Seattle game and the Aaron Boone game alone are worth the price of admission.
The Seattle game especially as it shows you the difference that 14 years makes. In that game you had 57,000 people chanting expletives at Ken Griffey Jr in unison and the Mariners had to be pulled off the field after Mattingly homered as there was a near riot. Last week, you could not get half the Stadium to coordinate on "Who's Your Daddy".
But I digress. All of the games are classics in one way or another and are sure to make any Yankee fan's day. The presentation is nice in a metal box instead of cheap cardboard that you normally find.
Four stars because two of the games are available in other sets and the games are not widescreen.
DVD Review: Two-star penalty for redundancy
Summary: 3 Stars
This is a terrific set in terms of packaging and presentation, but I'm with the man who said that those games which are already available on DVD shold have been replaced. Personally, I would much rather have had Ron Guidry's 18Ks game in its entirety... and what about the Graig Nettles Show, a.k.a. Game 3 of the '78 Series? I'm glad to have this set for the previously unreleased games, but I object slightly to the repackages...still, these are the ones the fan voted for, and Vox publicum, vox dei, right? DVD Review: Great DVD Set!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great set celebrating the greatest Yankees games in historic Yankee Stadium. Just being able to have "Donnie Baseball's" last game at the Stadium is awesome. What a game that was... The 1995 Division Series vs. Seattle where he hit .417 and who can forget the incredible two games of the 2001 WS vs. Arizona. Game 4 is here experience all the magic again from that night when Tino Martinez homers with two out in the ninth and Jeter wins it with his November magic. Reggie's three HR game from 1977 is also here as is Chris Chambliss' HR to win the 1976 pennant. If you're a true blue Yankee fan as myself this 6-disc set is for you. YANKEE STADIUM FOREVER!!!DVD Review: Best games in Yankee Stadium, but two of the games are already on DVD
Summary: 4 Stars
Great games from the Stadium, quility is great and the special features are ok. Bottom line, I would replace the Mr. November game and Mr. October game since those games are already on DVD. But it's a "Must have" if your a yankee fan.DVD Review: Can't say that these would be MY choices:
Summary: 3 Stars

1996 WORLD SERIES GAME 6 VS. ATLANTA BRAVES: After New York lost the first two games of the 1996 World Series, they won the next four and finished with a Game 6-celebration that shook Yankee Stadium with delight.
2001 WORLD SERIES GAME 4 VS. ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS: History unfolded when Tino Martinez hit a 2-out, bottom of the 9th, two-run homer to tie the game. Then in the 10th, "Mr. November" Derek Jeter's game-winning home run ended another remarkable victory. (Also available with Yankees Fall Classic Collector's Edition)
