DVD Reviews of The St. Louis Cardinals - Greatest Games of Busch Stadium 1966-2005
DVD Review: Great games, not a great set
Summary: 3 Stars
First of all I want to state that I'm not a Cardinals fan, Im a Yankee fan but most importantly Im a fan of baseball and MLB. These are great games, legendary games that all take place in the former Busch Stadium that was torn down after the 2005 season. The box set includes six games: (1) 1968 WS Tigers vs. Cardinals Game 1 Bob Gibson vs. 31 game winner Deny McLain, a game in which Gibson struck out 17. (2) 1982 WS Brewers vs. Cardinals Game 7... the clincher. (3) 1985 NLCS Dodgers vs. Cardinals Game 5. (4) 1987 WS Twins vs. Cardinals Game 3. (5) Mark McGwires' 62nd home run game overthrowing Roger Maris... the then single season home run leader. (6) 2004 NLCS Astros vs. Cardinals Game 7 that put them in the WS against the Red Sox.
These are all great games especially to Redbird fans and baseball fans in general, the problem is that the quality is just awful. A&E distributes some great box sets including the Red Sox 2004 World Series, The Mets 1986 World Series, the Yankees Fall Classic Collection, the 1975 Reds World Series, The 1979 Pirates Worls Series, The 2005 White Sox World Series and all the vintage world series DVDs that they produced. The quality in these games are really awful. I was very excited about the Gibson, McLain game until I found it it was in black and white because when you watch clips of the 1968 WS, its in color. That was the first disappoitment. The second was the 2004 NLCS game, that game was shot in HD, yet it wasnt on DVD, the quality was bad. McGwire's 62nd HR was also low quality, it wasnt that great. The other games are fine and watchable because they really couldnt be remastered, they looked exactly like they did when they first came out in the 80s, but the 1st game and the last 2 for quality weren't great at all. I have the 2005 White Sox WS collection, now that is high quality, compare the "Greatest games of Busch Stadium" to the White Sox Collection and you'll see a huge difference. The White Sox collection is like your watching a movie. The Cardinals collection has great games but has many imperfections, i guess that's why when you first put on 1 of the 6 DVDs it has a little message talking about the flaws and imperfections because it definitely shows. The Bonus features help leviate the tension that you get while watching the low quality of the games. Is it worth the money? Yes if you a diehard Card fan... if not, well do what I did, when you get a good deal on it, buy it, but its not worth the cover price.
