DVD Reviews of The St. Louis Cardinals 2006 World Series Collector's EditionDVD Review: Must have for any Cardinals fan Summary: 5 StarsThis set is fantastic. If you're a Cards fan and want to relive this improbable post-season, you must get this set.
DVD Review: Why is the format different from the 2005 World Series? Summary: 2 StarsWhy is it that the format of the 2006 World Series is different from the 2005 World Series between the White Sox / Astros? The A & E box set of the 2005 World Series is recorded and distributed in 16:9 HD and its in Widescreen, it looks amazing, its so sharp and the audio sounds so much better, the players and the background look so realistic, but when you put on one the games for the 2006 World Series its sharp, but its very disappointing. Its recorded and distributed in 4:3 Standard aspect and its fullscreen. The players look like twigs, they dont look proportionate compared to the 2005 World Series where they look so realistic. In all fareness, the picture is sharper than the 2004 Red Sox World Series which I also own, the picture quality on that is just awful but also keep in mind that it was before HD or on the brink of HD and most of those games went way over the 3 hour mark, its understandable, but if your going to make the 2005 World Series in such high quality wouldn't it be expected that the 2006 World Series which by the way was not as interesting as the year prior also be released in HD widescreen format? It doesn't make sense, if their introducing an amazing format the year prior, why would they go back to the standard version when they have the capability of presenting it in a much crisper format. Im disappointed because the only reason I bought it was because of the format, thinking that it was like the 2005 World Series it would also be in widescreen HD, but it wasn't. Lets be honest, the games were boring. The best DVD on the set isnt even any of the World Series games, but the Game 7 of the NLCS against the Mets. So without the inspiration of the widescreen HD format like the World Series prior, why should anyone buy this set? As a baseball fan it sucks because A&E gave you a taste of what baseball can really look like, they got you hungry and craving then they go back to their original sub-par format. I just hope that if the Yankees win the world Series within the next decade or two, that they convert it into the widescreen HD format... it would be nice.
DVD Review: Must-have for Cards fans!!! Summary: 5 StarsThis DVD set has all 5 games with Detroit, and games 5 and 7 of the Mets series. Of course, commercial free with great audio and video. World Series victories don't come around often, and this set offers a great way to preserve those memories. I have been watching replays of these games on Fox Midwest, but twenty years from now (when the Cards have wrapped up 5 or 6 more WS victories thanks to coach of the year 2021 Albert Pujols) these games will still be preserved for me, long after they are regulars on cable TV. The bonus DVD is neat too, with interviews from many on the team. A lot of funny stuff, with people spraying champagne all over eachother while trying to interview. Good, candid stuff that you don't get to see during the course of a regular season. If you or your loved one is a serious Cardinals fan like I am, this is a must have!!!

DVD Review: a great DVD set Summary: 5 StarsFirst off, I'll say that I am not a Cardinals fan. This is a great DVD set, the best that A&E has done, although there are some minor visual imperfections, but overall the quality is very good. This set is the first without the MLB watermark logo, which seemed to be a problem with the other sets. These games are also the first to come with a spanish audio track, which is a nice touch.
For those of that don't have any of the other sets, each game is divided into the innings that are easy to get to. Each case of the DVD has interesting stats on the front, a box score on the back and the play-by-play inside.
The extras are also very nicely put together.
This set is not just for Cardinal fans, but for those that want to preserve a little bit of baseball history.
DVD Review: the wait is over and 2004 can be frgoting Summary: 5 Stars82 was the last time this had happend and i was one so i wasent abel to enjoy it i have been and will be a cardinal fan my whole life and after 2004 and the trouble they had at the end of the season i feard 2004 would repeat it self.
but that was not the case and i never gave up hope so when they beat sd and then the mets with great picing frome nlcs mvp jeff supan who piched great in 2004 to he even hit a homrun against the mets
and clutch hiting frome the so man and soul patch (speizo} and yadi with with the big gam seven two run home run it seame as the the stars were all alinged and this would be the cards year but one more hurdle loomed the mighty tigers and 41 year old keny rogers who stoped the y great yankie lineup and then they swept the ockland they were on a role and looked unbeatable and so everone thought 2004 would repeat it self everyone but the cardinals and cardinal nation.
and then came game 1 and the rookie reays starting i will amidt i was nervious ankiel came to mind but the reays piched a great game and all wories disaperd and scott rollen hit great for the first timr in the post season and what a great time to start and edmonds to and if it werent for rogers we might have swept carp piched a gem and the game 5
and wever shoed everyone he can be the kind of picther everyone thought he could be and he did it on the bigest stage the wourld seris seing his little broter in carinal red was great to i hope weaver resings and can do that all next season and live up to all abilty because in game five he shoed how great he can be and ecksein what a great player what a great heart he was truley the mvp he did everything clutch hits great plays
it was a great year the first cardinal wourld seris win since 82 an the 10 for the cardinal it was worth the wait
sory so long i had a lot to say
Description of The St. Louis Cardinals 2006 World Series Collector's EditionPowered by the red-clad, white-towel waving passionate fan-base, the 2006 Cardinals gave us an unparalleled rollercoaster of emotions that swelled to an improbable end as Busch Stadium staged an unforgettable celebration after the Game Five World Series? victory. The St. Louis Cardinals? stumbled toward the postseason and provided little indication of the magic to follow. Yet, after defeating the pitching-rich San Diego Padres? in the NLDS? the underdog Cardinals stunned the New York Mets? ending with a dramatic Game 7 capped by a 9th inning for the ages. Every play, every crafted pitch, clutch hit, strategic maneuver, and historic performance of the 2006 World Series? is preserved forever with this remarkable, one-of-a-kind DVD anthology. The complete game broadcast of the final two victories over the Mets and all five World Series games are in this collection ready for your viewing pleasure. With more than 20 hours of game action and bonus footage this DVD set will become the centerpiece of your Cardinals 2006 World Series library. Your enjoyment is intensified with SleeveStatsTM: the perfect companion to the ultimate baseball DVD experience, offering official stats, trivia, and game summaries right on the each DVD's cover. Completist baseball fans will certainly enjoy reliving the full story of the 2006 World Series in The St. Louis Cardinals 2006 World Series Collectors Edition. Not only does the eight-disc set include all five games in the world championship series between the St. Louis Cardinals and Detroit Tigers, it sets the stage for the contest with a terrific preface: Games 5 and 7 of the Cards' NLCS (National League Championship Series) win over the New York Mets. One can watch Cardinals starter Jeff Weaver (in Game 5) earn his second win of the playoffs (and first of the NLCS), or Jeff Suppan (in Game 7) allow only one run on five hits in 15 innings pitched. (He was named the 2006 NLCS MVP.) The Cardinals, going into the World Series with the second fewest number of victories (83) ever in a full regular season, nevertheless had a spirited showing where it counted. Even if one isn't inclined to watch entire games over again, it's fun to skip around to such highlights as Cardinal Albert Pujols' two-out, two-run homer in the third inning of Game 1, or the Tigers' 41-year-old starter Kenny Rogers win in Game 2 (making him the oldest starter to win a game in World Series history). Then, of course, there's World Series MVP David Eckstein's three doubles in Game 4 (the all-time record is four), and Cardinals' manager Tony LaRussa's footnote to baseball history by becoming one of only two managers to win World Series titles in both leagues. The games look great--exactly the way they appeared and sounded on their original television broadcasts--and each disc appears in its own holder, which is covered in facts and statistics worth noting. The eighth disc, a "Bonus DVD," includes the clubhouse celebration, trophy and MVP presentation, highlights from the NL Central Division and NL Division Series, player interviews, highlights from the Cardinals' 1982 World Series victory, opening ceremonies of the new Busch Stadium, and a Spanish audio track from the original, live Fox En Espanol broadcast. --Tom Keogh
