Movie Reviews of The Pittsburgh Pirates 1979 World Series Collector's Edition
Movie Review: A Memorable Cast
Summary: 5 Stars
To make this short and sweet, even if you're not a Pirates fan, you'll appreciate this journey back in time with so many great characters like Pops and his windmilling, Eddie Murray's afro, Skinny Kent Tekulve and his glasses, Don Stanhouse's red afro, Tim Foli and his ultra-chokeup stance, Scrappy Garner, Nimble Omar Moreno and the list goes on and on. 70's baseball has gotten to a point where it has finally aged like a fine wine, and this series is a perfect example of that. One of the great games in this set is Game 4, a day game in Pittsburgh. Seeing the players play in the sun during the 70's is a real treat for any baseball fan. Also, the bonus material which includes a blend of old footage and recent interviews is wonderful stuff to watch. This Series and the '75 Series set are easily worth owning for the player/characters of their day.
Summary of The Pittsburgh Pirates 1979 World Series Collector's Edition
From the moment the 1979 Pittsburgh Pirates first took the field, until they battled back to defeat the Baltimore Orioles in the 1979 World Series, the Buccos demanded attention and respect. The optimism of manager Chuck Tanner provided the perfect guidance to a team already led by the universally-respected Willie Stargell and ferocious hitting of Dave Parker. Galvanized by a family spirit, a crowd-pleasing song, and the shared fire to win, this team was marked by character, confidence, and a flair for dramatic victories.Down three games to one, the Pirates provided a sudden plot change and stormed back to claim the 1979 World Series championship. Every game of this remarkable Fall Classic, every pitch, clutch hit, stellar pitching performance, and infectious smile of the Pirates is digitally preserved in this one-of-a-kind collectible.Your viewing of these historic games is intensified with SleeveStats: the perfect companion to the ultimate baseball DVD experience, offering official stats, trivia, and game summaries right on each DVDs package 1979 NLCS Pennant Clincher: Final Inning and Celebration 1979 World Series Celebration Official Trophy Presentation Presentation of World Series MVP Award to Willie Stargell Dave Parker Highlights from 1979 All-Star Game Rare Player Interviews: Willie Stargell, Bill Robinson, Tim Foli, Bruce Kison, Don Robinson Interactive Menus Inning SelectionSports DVD Video
