DVD Reviews of The World Series 2000: New York Yankees v. New York Mets

DVD Review: the return of the subway series, when will New York have another one?
Summary: 4 Stars

There are not many cities with a major league team un each league. New York has the Yanks and Mets, Chicago Cubs and White Sox and Los Angeles Dodgers and Angels (if you consider Anaheim a part of Los Angeles). Well they are called the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. Since prior to 1958 New York had two National League teams and the American League Yankees the chance for a subway series is much better than for local World Series in LA and Chicago,

As Lawrance (#2 reviewer) Bernabo mentioned in his review, the first subway series was between the Yankees and Giants in 1921. I grew up in the 1859s when subway series were commonplace. From 1947 to 1957 there were incredibly 7 subway series, 6 for Yankees vs Dodgers (1947, 1949, 1952, 1953, 1955 and 1956) and 1 Yankees vs Giants (1951), The Yanks won 6 of the 7 with 1955 being the only time they lost to Brooklyn.

But with both the Giants and Dodgers moving to the west coast the subway series was no longer possible until the expansion Mets joined the National League in 1962. The Yanks won pennants in 62, 63, and 64 but the Mets were terrible in those years. In 1969 the Mets won their first National League flag but now the Yanjs wer going through a bad period. So although the Mets got to the World Series in 1969, 1973 and 1986 the Yanjs were not very successful in those years, The Yankees won Anerican League championships in 1962, 1963, 1964, 1976, 1977, 1978, 1981, 1996, 1998 and 1999 but the Mets were not able to win the National League title in those years. So this 2000 World Series was the first subway series since 1956.

This one was filled with excitement and drama. Clemens tossing the handle of Piazza's bat being the most memorable. There was good pitching and they were great teams. It was a series to remember. When willthere be another?

DVD Review: Baseball Gets Boring When It's All NewYorkNewYorkNew. . .
Summary: 1 Stars

First of all I want to say that I am a HUGE baseball fan, but I am not very fond of the Yankees. When I first started following baseball, at age 9, I thought I might like them. But as time passed I started to see what rich, snobby sell-outs they were, and how bad they are for baseball.

Yankee fans and ONLY Yankee fans think the 'Yankees rock' or whatever retarted things like that. This World Series was an insult to baseball, and if I remember, the ratings weren't all that good. Because not only was everyone sick of the Yankees by now, but they knew what was going to happen.

A agree with one reviewer who said the only great thing about this World Series was watching Roger Clemens throw Mike Piazza's bat back at him. But only because it portrayed Clemens as the stuck-up loser that he is.

Do NOT buy this video unless you are a Yankees fan. No, do NOT buy it if you are a Mets fan. Some Yankee fans have said it's good for both Yanks and Mets rooters. Easy for them to say - they won the darn series!
Not only that, but announcers always favor the Yankees in their comments, so if you do get it you might want to turn the volume down. But I hope that you WON'T get it.


DVD Review: The Series baseball did not want
Summary: 1 Stars

The series was pretty bad in generall I dont believe I watched the Yankees were hevally favored and they were both in New York the only real exciting event in the series was the game where Roger Clemens through the bat at Piazza.Probally one of the 10 worst world series of all time no Fun at all.

DVD Review: Yankees Rock !!!!
Summary: 5 Stars

The New York Yankees beat the New York Mets in the first Subway Series since 1956. You see Don Larson & my favorite, Yogi Berra headbutting a umpire from a previous Subway Series. This is a definet for both Yankees & Mets fans.

DVD Review: Yanks Rule the Subway
Summary: 5 Stars

In the first Subway World Series since 1956, The Yankees show they are N.Y.'s team. Best games 1,2,and 5.

Description of The World Series 2000: New York Yankees v. New York Mets

Following three world championships in four years, the New York Yankees' dynasty was starting to show a little wear in 2000. Still, the Bronx Bombers managed to stumble into the playoffs and get past the Oakland A's and Seattle Mariners. Meanwhile, the Mets disposed of the San Francisco Giants and St. Louis Cardinals, leading to the show everyone in New York wanted to see: Yankees vs. Mets in the first subway series since 1956.

This 70-minute video offers over 50 minutes of Series coverage, including pitching duels, base-running blunders, and surprise heroes. Game 2, of course, is best known for the infamous bat-throwing incident between Yankees hurler Roger Clemens and Mets slugger Mike Piazza, which you'll see from several angles (the overhead is the most unusual and most interesting). A bonus is this video's inclusion of something as small (yet significant) as Paul O'Neill's tough 10-pitch walk that began the tying rally in Game 1, and there are interviews with role players such as Luis Sojo and Benny Agbayani as well as stars Derek Jeter (the series MVP) and David Justice. After five hard-fought games, the Yankees had won their fourth championship in five years and carried an emotional Joe Torre off the field. Bernie Williams comments, "It's just amazing the fact that we have been able to do it year after year after year." It might not be so amazing considering the Yankees' $114 million payroll for 2000, but of all baseball's big spenders, the Yankees are far and away the most successful. The dynasty continues. --David Horiuchi
