Mets fan will love it - you'll also love the Mets fan documentary Mets fans old and you need to add this to their Mets collection. What an amazing year for us Mets fans. This is a great DVD that allows you to either re-live or actually live the 86 series. Buy it now! If you like this and you're a Mets fan you'll probably like Mathematically Alive the mets fan documentary. Great film, worth the $20. Mathematically Alive: A Story of Fandom DVD
1986 - The best year of my life As a devoted Mets fan, this was a must have. With all the World Series ames and the clincher sixth game of the NLCS, the collection is worth its weight in gold. Mets fans, do yourself a favor and get a copy of this right away.
If you LOVE the METS...BUY THIS I plan on showing my future children this six disc DVD and not telling them anything, except it is worth the ride. The 16-inning NLCS game is unreal...even knowing what happens did not ruin the drama. Game 6 of the world series is also worth it...I rewound the Buckner error a million times. Dwight Gooden's worthlessness; oil can Boyd's meltdown; Carter, Backman, and Dykstra all in rarified form. Almost made this last season palatable.
It's "Bugged" This is a good set except for one thing - the MLB logo "bug" in the center-right of the screen. Anyone who can remember when TV didn't have these (meaning you can remember 1986) will be extremely distracted by this. If you think you can put up with it, get the set. I thought this set would mean I could retire my old videotapes, but I guess not. I'd rather watch those than have a big chunk of the screen be obscured.
What a collection!!! What a treat for any Mets fan or baseball historian! The collection stands the test of time. The magic of the 1986 World Series is captured in this collection!
