ST. Louis Cardinals: 1960S

I just got this and have watched all three of the shows and all are so much fun to watch. To see Mickey Mantle hit four HRs off the Cards in 1964 was fantastic. To see Yaz in 1967 after his triple crown year was totally cool. And Bob Gibson, Lou Brock, Orlando Cepeda, a very young Reggie Smith in 1967 brought back so many memories. And my fav WS the 1968 with the Tigers. Al Kaline (hits like he is 20 again), Jim Northrup (hits grand slam), Denny McLain (31 game winner) and Mickey Lolich (won 3 games in series) was awesome. Bob Gibson again is classic and strikes out 17 Tigers in one game. Sure the video quality was so so and the sound a bit muddy but were talking 40-44 years ago. Even the crowd shots were cool. If you want to see true HALL OF FAMERS playing without steroids just get this and several of the other videos and you will love it. I'm not even a big Cards, Yanks, Tigers or Red Sox fan...I'm just a big baseball fan and these videos are too cool for school. Next one I gotta get is the 1972-74 Oakland A's. PLAY BALL!!!

If you grew up in the 60's following the St. Louis Cardinals you will love this video. Great era for Cards fans. As a 12 year old I attended game seven of the 68 series. My uncle worked at the Busch Brewery and came across a ticket at the last moment and I mean LAST MOMENT. He called my dad about two hours before game time and said he wanted to give the ticket to me. Dad picked me up at school and drove to the Brewery from about 15 miles away. We picked up the ticket and my Dad dropped me off at the stadium. I got to the box seat six rows behind the Tigers dugout just before the Cards took the field. Imagine the excitement of a 12 year old at a World Series game by seven by himself. Although the final result of the game was a bad memory, just getting to see the game highlights was fantastic.

This DVD is a great way for any Cardinals fan to experience or re-experience the 60's-era Cardinals dynasty. Brock, Gibson, and many other Cardinals greats are all here. The video pretty much shows the last pitch of each at bat that took place during the three World Series. This is great because you can watch the whole series quickly, but still follow exactly how the games unfolded. Great St. Louis baseball nostalgia here -- the old Busch Stadium is referred to as "brand new" and "state-of-the-art" a few times. Harry Caray (who started in St. Louis before moving on to Chicago) even narrates one of the films. All in all just a great DVD -- too bad the Cards couldn't win all three.

It's excellent watching the Cardinals battle the Yankees in their last hurrah, or the impossible dream Red Sox in a classic 7 gamer, or watching them battle the Tigers in a classic tale of two different series in one. Also enjoyed hearing Harry Carey do the narration as well. Just wished they had released the Cardinals World Series highlights in one complete set like they did for the Yankees and not piecemeal.

Purchased as a christmas gift.

I have watched the dvd and it brings back all the GREAT memories of the first time I saw the games live on TV. In 1964 I was only nine years old and it seems like just a couple of years ago.I still remember being in tears, when they lost game 7 in 1968. Would be a great film for any CARDINAL Fan.

I gave this as a birthday gift to a friend who now lives in Minnesota , but was raised in Missouri as a Cardinals fan of this era.

I bought this as an anniversary present for my husband and he was very happy to get it. We have not watched it yet, but the packaging was excellent.
