DVD Reviews of The New York Mets 1986 World Series Collector's Edition
DVD Review: A long time since 1986
Summary: 5 Stars
Ok, so it's been a long time since 1986, but Mets fans are as patient as death and always have been. For the painful early years the Mets faithful came and rooted their Lovable Losers on until in 1969 a miracle occurred and the Mets won their first World Series.
Now simple math tells you that from 1969 to 1986 the wait was longer, but having been there for both of the wins (and the close call in 1973), I can tell you the while every World Championship is sweet, 1986 was sweet to the Nth degree. Because not only did the Mets win, but the snatched victory for the jaws of defeat...and they snatched it from the jaws of the Boston Red Sox.
Now, it's harder, watching through nostalgia tinted eyes, to hate the 1986 Sox as much as I've hated them since they finally kicked the curse and became one of the most successful teams of the 21st century (oooo I hate them now). They had some great, great players back then. But I remember hating them pretty hard at the time, and watching the Mets refuse to lose game six, then come from behind again to win game seven was ?ber sweet. The famous Buckner play still makes me grin like an idiot.
So not only are the games all here for your re-enjoyment, but the bonus disc is packed with great interviews, the post-game locker room celebration, etc. It will make the Mets fan proud all over again.
Now, how about a new world championship, guys?
DVD Review: 86 Mets DVD
Summary: 5 Stars
I was very pleased with this DVD. I will definitely watch it over and over again.DVD Review: The Best Of Times, The Worst Of Times..........
Summary: 5 Stars
This to me was almost a tale of 2 different World Series.
The Boston Red Sox bizarre year began with Dwight Evans hitting the first pitch of the season for a homerun off Jack Morris of the Detroit Tigers in Detroit. Then there was a mid season game against the California Angels where their pitcher BALKED in the Sox' winning run in the bottom of the ninth. Follow that with Dave Henderson's historic homerun off California's Donnie Moore with 2 out and 2 strikes in the top of the 9th to pull ahead in the 5th game of the playoffs. California was leading in games, 3-1, at the time. The Angels tied that game, but the Sox won in the 11th I believe, forcing games 6 and 7 back in Boston. They blew the Angels away in those 2 games to earn the right to face the Mets.
The Mets, meanwhile, blew the National League away all season long, until they had to face the Houston Astros in the playoffs. A very even series ensued, culminating with that 14 inning THRILLER in game 6, which is part of this dvd set. That game 6 was very signifigant because an Astros win meant that the Mets would have to face Mike Scott, who had been almost unhittable all series long. Scott had, in face culminated the division clinching weekend in Houston. Nolan Ryan had pitched a 2 hitter at the San Francisco Giants, followed by Jim Deshaies one hitter, and Scott's no hitter put the division on ice for Houston. I think this 3 game performance was unprecedented in MLB at that point.
Now we come to the World Series, after such strange things had been happening to both clubs all season long. Why shouldn't such a series have so many unfathomable things happen in it?
For those of you who have or get this disk set, watch for Sox catcher Rich Gedman in that famous 10th inning of game 6 at Shea. True, Schiraldi was getting banged around a little.In my opinion, it was GEDMAN, not Bill Buckner who sealed the Red Sox' fate when he backhanded a Bob Stanley pitch, instead of shifting as catchers are trained to do with men on base. As a catcher you are supposed to move your body over to keep the ball in front of you, ala what a hockey goalie might do. Mr. Gedman did not do this and Kevin Mitchell scored the tying run for the Mets. But for that, Buckner's "error" would never have happened.
This was great theater all around, whether you root for the Mets or the Red Sox. I'm a Red Sox fan, and I still love watching it and picking it apart. I was pained like everyone else in New England, I hurt for weeks over this. I KNEW the Sox would lose game 6 the moment the ball got by Gedman. When the Mets won it, I knew the Sox had no chance in game 7.
One thing I will always love about that series is the commentary of the GREAT Vin Scully, and Joe Garagiola. They were a part of the show, but also knew when to let the happenings on the field be the show. I don't believe that there is any broadcaster who can do that today. Scully has a voice that will lull one to sleep because he always sounds so reassuring. Garagiola was the perfect compliment to Vin. We won't see their like again. They are missed by me today and always will be. Scully was so good that I even looked forward to hearing him on golf telecasts, which he also did for awhile for NBC.
In many ways, this set was as good, to me, as the 2004 Sox victory over the Cardinals in the World Series, albeit for different reasons. This is a MUST have for any Sox fan, as much as for any Mets fan. Bon Appetit.
