DVD Reviews of The Pittsburgh Pirates 1979 World Series Collector's Edition
DVD Review: Super!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I am so pleased with the coverage. Not missing a pitch is great. I hope they come out with the 1971 series soon.DVD Review: Excellent until the end
Summary: 4 Stars
Although I am an Orioles fan, and they lost this world series I enjoyed watching it in its entirety for the first time in almost 30 years. This was my favorite Orioles team. The quality of this product was excellent until the final two games, when the video had several problems. I was disappointed in the broadcast quality of game 7. Other than that, I highly recommend this product.DVD Review: Outstanding
Summary: 5 Stars
This set is for any Pittsburgh Pirates fan who wants to remember what it was like when their favorite team was not a disgrace to sports. Personally, I loved the black and gold mix and match uniforms of the seventies so that was half the reason for getting this set. But the other half was to see this great baseball team in all it's glory. The Pirates and Orioles were dominant teams throughout the decade and they wrapped up the seventies in style. The Pirates became one of the few teams to come back from a 3 games to 1 deficit to win a World Series title.
As far as the video is concerned, I think that it is good overall. There are variances in video and sound at times, but they do not detract from the enjoyment of watching these games. I love putting a disc in at anytime and watching a few innings, or a whole game. Hearing Howard Cosell and Don Drysdale brings back good memories as well as the action on the field does.
I highly endorse this dvd set for any Pirates fan.
DVD Review: A Memorable Cast
Summary: 5 Stars
To make this short and sweet, even if you're not a Pirates fan, you'll appreciate this journey back in time with so many great characters like Pops and his windmilling, Eddie Murray's afro, Skinny Kent Tekulve and his glasses, Don Stanhouse's red afro, Tim Foli and his ultra-chokeup stance, Scrappy Garner, Nimble Omar Moreno and the list goes on and on. 70's baseball has gotten to a point where it has finally aged like a fine wine, and this series is a perfect example of that. One of the great games in this set is Game 4, a day game in Pittsburgh. Seeing the players play in the sun during the 70's is a real treat for any baseball fan. Also, the bonus material which includes a blend of old footage and recent interviews is wonderful stuff to watch. This Series and the '75 Series set are easily worth owning for the player/characters of their day.DVD Review: This made my boyfriend very happy...
Summary: 5 Stars
My boyfriend bought me the White Sox series and hinted that he wanted the Pirate's one. I got it for him for Valentine's Day and he was so happy. Thank you. This was a great gift!
Description of The Pittsburgh Pirates 1979 World Series Collector's Edition
From the moment the 1979 Pittsburgh Pirates first took the field, until they battled back to defeat the Baltimore Orioles in the 1979 World Series, "the Buccos" demanded attention and respect. The optimism of manager Chuck Tanner provided the perfect guidance to a team already led by the universally-respected Willie Stargell and ferocious hitting of Dave Parker. Galvanized by a family spirit, a crowd-pleasing song, and the shared fire to win, this team was marked by character, confidence, and a flair for dramatic victories.Down three games to one, the Pirates provided a sudden plot change and stormed back to claim the 1979 World Series championship. Every game of this remarkable Fall Classic, every pitch, clutch hit, stellar pitching performance, and infectious smile of the Pirates is digitally preserved in this one-of-a-kind collectible.
Your viewing of these historic games is intensified with SleeveStats: the perfect companion to the ultimate baseball DVD experience, offering official stats, trivia, and game summaries right on each DVD's package
