History of Yankee Stadium DVD I am very pleased with my purchase of this great DVD that I have added to my Yankee DVD collection. Thanks!
Red Sox Fan and Yankees Fan I love the yankee stadium that the park are very powerful baseball park which 26 world series champs when the yankees are playing the world series games that I rooted the yankees for 4 years (1996-1998-1999-2000). I like the red sox players went to the Yankees for the contract :-)
nearly perfect The first disc is two hours of history about the Stadium, with commentary by everyone from George Bush to Aaron Boone (LOVE Aaron Boone!). Oddly missing from the commentary: George Steinbrenner. It's so well-made, and with the Gladiator-esque music pumping through the background, it makes you appreciate the building and the history and the team even more. I was more disappointed in the second disc, of "bonus features," which had things like Lou Gehrig's speech and Aaron Boone's home run. But they only showed about three lines of the speech - and I know there exists more newsreel footage than that of the ceremony, and they didn't use Michael Kay's commentary on Aaron Boone, and I know they had the rights to use it, because they showed earlier clips on the first disc using it. But apart from those glaring omissions, I loved every minute of the discs.
Excellent!!! This is a excellent video about the big old ballpark in the bronx. It captures all the great moments in the stadium's history and more. A must have for true Yankee fans. It goes along perfectly with "Yankee Stadium The Official Retrospective" hardcover book. I highly recommend this 2-disc set.
