Customer Reviews

Witness the greatest moments in A's history !
This DVD is great for any A's fan or just baseball fans in general. This DVD has 4 seperate films you can choose from on the main screen that document that year's world series. These were also made in the year that the series was played. I enjoyed seeing the footage of A's greats like Catfish Hunter, Reggie Jackson, Vida Blue, Terry Steinbach, Mark McGwire, Dave Stewart, and Blinkie McBlinkerson.....errr I mean Jose Canseco.

SF Bay Area Greatness
Any SF Bay Area native should buy this DVD! All Baseball fans and History buffs should also buy this DVD!!

MLB Vintage World Series Films - Oakland A's 1972, 1973, 1974 & 1989
This was an excellent video. I've been a fan of the A's since they arrived from Kansas City. It was great watching all the legendary player together again. It didn't get any better than that.
