Product Description

Never has a home team played a World Series under a roof or in front of louder fans. Never in the history of Major League Baseball has the home team won every game of the World Series. Of course, never before had the Minnesota Twins won a World Series, and never would anyone have picked them to improve from a sub-.500 winning percentage to champions in just one season. With a lineup powered by the hard-hitting foursome, a staff anchored by two starting aces and one in the bullpen, a manager whose calm was contagious, and rabid fans who nearly blew the roof off the home field, the Twins throttled baseball with an unmatched home field advantage. Every game of this Twin Cities tale, every pitch, every rafter-rocking home run, and thunderous roar of the Metrodome faithful is digitally preserved in this one-of-a-kind collectible. Unlike certain Cardinals pitchers you may choose to not wear earplugs; however twirling "Homer Hankies" is encouraged.

What You'd Expect
These are the complete broadcasts of all 7 games played between the Minnesota Twins and St. Louis Cardinals in the 1987 World Series - 4 games in the Metrodome and 3 games in Busch Stadium. The quality of the broadcasts is very nice, with the exception of the sound during parts of Games 6 & 7. During the first 2.5 innings of Game 6 the sound is really bad and, while not as bad as Game 6, the sound during the first 6.5 innings of Game 7 isn't very good. Al Michaels, Tim McCarver, and Jim Palmer do the call on all 7 games.

I'm a little bit surprised that this set was released before the 1991 Twins vs. Braves series because 3 of these games weren't competitive. Also, it was very cold in Busch Stadium for games 3 & 4, so the crowd enthusiasm is somewhat low. All in all, it's a great trip down memory lane to watch these games again. Let's hope that the good folks at A&E continue to release more and more games in the future.

A Must For Twins Fans!
This set contains the complete 1987 ABC Network World Series game coverage. Each of the seven discs comes in its' own case with the box score and game summary of that specific game. I was a bit surprised that the ABC pre-game and post-game shows weren't included. A nice feature is that you can play these DVD's by the half inning if you wish.
The 7th disc also contains nine bonus features, four of which are from the ABC broadcast, and two others were from the NBC coverage of the 1987 AL Championship Series. The other three features were "A History of the Minnesota Twins", the end of the AL West clinching game against Texas, and some of the Minneapolis and St. Paul victory parades. The seven minute "A History of the Minnesota Twins" was disappointing becuse it was so short.
This set is a must for Twins fans. Cardinals fans might not enjoy it quite so much. More general fans might be able to get by with the cheaper MLB Vintage World Series Films: Minnesota Twins 1987 & 1991.

1987 World Series DVDs
I am a big Twins Fan and have been waiting for the World Series DVDs to come out. I never recorded the games and I've always been sorry I haven't. This product is so clear and without commercials, and I've been watching them over and over. It's especially significant to my family and me as they hear me talking about the series and now they can see it for themselves. Thank you so much for having this available.
