It was one of the first signs of the modern era of baseball when New York Yankees owner George Steinbrenner took advantage of new free-agency rules to restock his team.One of his acquisitions, outfielder Reggie Jackson, proved himself worthy of his self-label as 'the straw that stirs the drink' by powering a record five home runs in the 1977 World Series, breaking a 15-year Yankee championship drought and branding him 'Mr. October.'The 1977 New York Yankees Collector's Edition set has all six games against the Los Angeles Dodgers, plus the clinching fifth game of the ALCS against the Kansas City Royals (featuring a late Yankee comeback and a brawl between third basemen Graig Nettles and George Brett).Also included are new interviews with a number of the players, including Reggie Jackson, Willie Randolph, Ron Guidry, Lou Piniella, Chris Chambliss, Mickey Rivers, Roy White, Dusty Baker, and Burt Hooton, and some footage of the memorable mid-season squabble between Jackson and manager Billy Martin, plus SleeveStats that print the box score, inning-by-inning summaries, and trivia on each DVD Thinpak case.As a time capsule, it's interesting to watch the players in action--not only future Hall of Famer Jackson (remember how in his three-homer effort in the clinching game, he actually started the Yankees comeback with a base on balls?), pre-Cy Young winner Guidry, and future managers Randolph, Piniella, and Baker.It's also instructive to watch a different era of the game, one that saw Yankees closer Sparky Lyle pitch 3-2/3 innnings for the game 1 win, and umpires who would watch pitches bounce in the dirt without batting an eye, rather than obsessively replacing anything with a hint of a scuff. And even though their team lost, longtime Dodger fans will enjoy watching the squad that boasted four 30-homer hitters, future Hall of Famer Don Sutton, and the record-setting infield of Garvey, Lopes, Russell, and Cey.--David Horiuchi

Rating:  - Give this DVD a look It's Great TV
Wow talk about exaggeration.When I read some of these reviews I was not expecting much when I first viewed this set.I think the most neutral observer would say that this is a good set.Looking first at the technical issues and picture, people have to understand that this tapes were recorded some 30 years ago and especially with some of the less notable games quite literally sat on a shelf somewhere.It isn't like today where everything is archived on digital.The tape is damaged by exposure ...

Rating: - The Picture is Really Not that Bad....
Regarding the other numerous complaints about picture quality (widescreen format) on this DVD release.... I think that unless one is really OCD about these kind of things, it's not really that bad. Yes, a few of the primitive 1977 graphics get a -little bit- chopped off at the bottom (of game 1), but by game 2 the formatting is much better. One must remember that these game tapes are now 30 years old, and getting them in any format is better than nothing.
Unlike the 1975 World Series boxset, ... Read More
Rating: - must buy
This is a must own for true Yankee fans.Having been at the game for Reggie's homers as an 11 year old with my Dad I never got to see the tv broadcast so this was special.
Granted it's a commitment to watch all the games, but to see our beloved Thurman stand behind the plate in full gear, to watch Mickey twirl his bat and limp around like a invalid, to see Nettles dive, Sparky chew, a young Guidry bounce, Reggie's unforgettable swing and trot, Billy's hand in back pocket walk and...ah, the ...

Rating:  - Intentional Customer Dissatisfaction (i.e. for suckers)
Of course they produced it in Widescreen.You know why.Because, this way, all the die hard Yankee fans who went out and bought this thing, will buy it twice when they re-release it in Full Screen.They know exactly what they are doing.
Rating: - Just As I Remember It
Yes it contains some flaws such as a few video tape imperfections, but overall it's a window into the past for an exciting World Series. The statistical information for each DVD case is well formatted and informative. Each game is presented as it aired and the bonus fifth and deciding game of the American League Championship Series is a nice addition.
I suspect most sports fans will enjoy this presentation.
