DVD Reviews of The Vet: The Complete History of Phillies Baseball at Veterans Stadium
DVD Review: GREAT (but not enough) OLD FOOTAGE...
Summary: 4 Stars
Vet Stadium's opening day was on my 10th birthday.
When I was a kid, my next door neighbor was head electrician at the Vet and was in charge of turning the lights on and off there...so needless to say, we went to a lot of Phillies (and Eagles) games for free during the early years of Veterans Stadium.
When I popped this DVD in, I was taken back to childhood days, just watching all the old footage...the wacky promotions they used to have, the Karl Wallenda high-wire footage, KiteMan, the Usher-ettes (my personal fave, as a young boy) and the players like Denny Doyle, Willie Montanez, Dave Cash, Larry Bowa, Greg Luzinski, Mike Schmidt, etc,.....
But it was a little too heavy on the more recent stuff, from the 90's to the end.
There was no footage or story on the famed "Picnic Area",...if I'm not mistaken, it was the first of it's kind.
Also, they made it look as if Larry Bowa got the 1st hit in Vet Stadium history...although, I believe the Expos' player "Boots" Day got it (top of the 1st inning). Bowa was the 1st Phillie to get a hit that day (bottom of the 1st).
Nor was there any mention of the late, great superfan that went by the name of "YO-YO". An older fella whose mid-game dances were a staple of old Phils game and even always got him consistent TV time (so the footage may have existed). YO-YO, to the best of my knowledge, was the only person to formally recieve a "lifetime" ticket to Phillies games, just before he died.
Other than that, it was a wonderful, well made trip down Memory Lane.
