Movie Reviews of MLB Vintage World Series Films - Baltimore Orioles 1966, 1970 & 1983
Movie Review: O's World Series Highlights
Summary: 4 Stars
This was an excellent product, first of all; however as a long time fan and follower of the Baltimore Orioles, I have a few suggestions. The highlights were too short, there could have been many more. More features with the players and other tidbits (for instance, a nice feature on Earl Weaver?), are in order. Earl was a veritable highlight reel himself, and his numerous confrontations with umpires and Jim Palmer, plus his tomato patch at Memorial Stadium make for great copy and interest for those of us who loved him. I suggest that more of the historical context of the 1966 Series be made as well. All in all, a fine introductory piece for the casual fan; but hardly a fulfilling project for the long-time, hard core O's lover like myself. Perhaps an update in the future could flesh this out a bit more--and increase the price too. Now--when do we get something to honor the BALTIMORE Colts hmm??
Summary of MLB Vintage World Series Films - Baltimore Orioles 1966, 1970 & 1983
Vintage World Series Films: Orioles is a two-hour compilation of the official films summarizing the highlights of Baltimore's world championships in 1966, 1970, and 1983. The core of the earlier teams were sluggers Frank Robinson and Boog Powell, great defensive players such as Brooks Robinson (whose play at third base helped him win World Series MVP in 1970), and the great pitching staff including Jim Palmer and Mike Cuellar. Palmer was back in 1983 accompanied by future Hall of Famers Cal Ripken Jr. and Eddie Murray, and more stout pitching arms such as Mike Flanagan, Denny Martinez, Scott McGregor, and Mike Boddicker. Fans of the Orioles from this era can also pick up their complete 1979 World Series against the Pittsburgh Pirates. --David HoriuchiAll the glory and classic moments of the Orioles World Series Championships from 1966 to 1983 are digitally preserved on this official DVD.Spanning both three decades and three managers--Hank Bauer, Earl Weaver, and Joe Altobelli--the enduring, common trait of the Baltimore Orioles success was stellar pitching, well-timed power, and peerless defense.The arrival of Frank Robinson in 1966 catapulted the Orioles to their first Fall Classic. Baltimore's pitchers dominated, holding the Los Angeles Dodgers to just two runs--for the entire four-game World Series. Four Octobers later, the Birds power hitting and fielding were on display. The rally-ending defense of Brooks Robinson and the club's 10 home runs in five games helped the O's to a second Championship.In 1983, the familiar formula and a familiar face held an encore. The Orioles staff, including Jim Palmer who provided a bridge to the 1966 victors, stifled the Philadelphia Phillies allowing only seven runs in the five games.
