Home Run Derby, Vol. 2

Great nostalgia in all 3 volumes of Home Run Derby. Here's who appeared on each DVD, ranked by how many homers they hit. To limit the "spoiler" effect I won't list the number of home runs hit by each player.Vol. 1 (94 home runs in 8 contests) Mickey Mantle, Harmon Killebrew, Hank Aaron, Ken Boyer, Willie Mays, Rocky Colavito, Jim Lemon, Earnie Banks, Jackie Jensen.Vol. 2 (84 home runs in 9 contests) Dick Stuart, Hank Aaron, Wally Post, Frank Robinson, Bob Cerv, Eddie Mathews, Bob Allison, Gus Triandos, Duke Snider, Al Kaline.Vol. 3 (123 home runs in 9 contests) Willie Mays, Jackie Jensen, Ernie Banks, Mickey Mantle, Gil Hodges, Bob Allison, Harmon Killebrew, Jim Lemon, Bob Cerv, Rocky Colavito.

This is really a review of all three volumes of Home Run Derby. This is just enjoyable nostalgia, a look back to when baseball players wore flannel and were middle class, not the spoiled multi-millionaire pains they are today. Many of the ballplayer participants are gone now and this is a delightful look at who they were, plus a pleasant contest between two ballplayers ... puts a personality along with that baseball card that we have of these guys. Don't expect a technologically and theatrically polished program, here, but just a 1960-ish fun program. Baseball fans of the good old days will not be disappointed.

this is a must for baseball fans of past years...to see aaron, mantle, snider, mays, in their old uniforms and in the prime of their playing years is worth the cost. to make note of the different style of batting follow through will make you think. it's also funny to hear someone try to make a tv cast with a empty park sound like this is important game, even through it is hard not to laugh at the interviews with these baseball greats because you can see they really don't give 2 cents about what is going on !!1

A chance to again see the great sluggers of the 50'sSadly, Mark Scott, the host passed away after this programwas aired. He was 45 y/o and died from a heart attack.

Great seeing the old ballplayers in their prime

I loved this series as a kid... and I still love it now! Glad I found these on Amazon on a good price!

PLEASED WITH PURCHASE

already wrote about season 3 great nostalgic tv for any baseball fan. I didn’t even know it existed. I bought all the seasons and wish it didn’t end so soon
