Customer Reviews of 2001 World Series - Arizona Diamondbacks vs. New York Yankees

Start spreading the news, the Yankees lose.
An excellent documentary about one of the best World Series ever. This is an absolute must for any Arizona Diamondbacks fan. It starts off by showing highlights from the D'Backs season - Johnson striking out 20, Gonzo hitting his 57th Homerun, Schilling being the first 20 game winner, etc. Then there are highlights from the NLDS and NLCS. Next the focus turns to the Yankees season (including past WS triumphs), the ALDS (including Jeter's amazing defensive plays - WOW) and ALCS.
Each game of the World Series is covered in great detail, including player and manager commentary. You also have a mixture of announcers from Fox Sports TV, Yankees & Diamondbacks radio coverage.
The Bonus Features are basically the key Homeruns/Hits during the Series, but there is an extra bonus for D'Back fans - the bottom of the 9th of Game 7 in its entirety!
The picture quality is very good. Some scenes are razor sharp, yet others are grainy - footage was obviously taken from many different sources. The sound is good (DD 2.0) but at times the commentary and radio coverage can sound bright and piercing - a bit annoying.

For all the Yankee fans out there, I just have to say "See Ya! The-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e Diamondbacks WIN!"

A Great Memory of a Great Series (actually 4 1/2 stars)
I am not a big Diamondbacks fan or a Yankees fan (on the contrary, I HATE them). So I had been rooting against the Yankees all year, and slowly began to take notice of the D-Backs. I had watched the Yanks win 3 World Series in a row, only losing 1 game to their 12 WS wins.
Once the series started, I was pretty hyped about those D-Backs and was really ready to watch the Yankees lose.

The only series' I had seen so far were boring, because I had only really been a baseball fan since '98, when I was about 9 years old.
But this series wasn't a quick sweep, or a lopsided series. It was amazing. Right down to Game 7, Bottom of the 9th, Final Pitch. What a thriller! What a roller-coaster ride!

This DVD is almost as good as the series itself, and brings back many fond memories and feelings that were created while I watched it on TV. The music, footage and commentary is great. The only part I didn't like was the part about the Yankees, in the ALDS against the A's.
That was such a sell-out series, I think the A's lost on purpose. Anyways, I couldn't STAND when they made such a big stink about Derek Jeter's 'backhand shuffle' or when he 'threw his body into the stands' to make a catch. Those plays were so fake, especially when he 'fell' into the stands.

But overall, this a great purchase for any Diamondbacks fan, Yankees fan, or baseball fan.

Finally, a DVD for a Yankee Hater
I've been a baseball fan since the 1998 season and have been disappointed year after year. Being a Yankee Hater, I had to watch the team I rooted for lose to the Yankees three years in a row. To add insult to injury, out of the Padres, Braves, and Mets, only the Mets could win a single game. Then came the 2001 World Series. Arizona actually wins in an exciting 7 game series. This documentary DVD shows the important hits, catches, and key performances by pitchers in all 7 games from the Diamondbacks 2 wins in a row, the Yankees winning 3 games in a row with two dramatic 9th inning home runs off of Byung-Hun Kim, to the Diamondbacks record 22 hits in Game 6 and the dramatic comeback by the Diamondbacks in the bottom of the 9th in Game 7. The entire documentary starts with a brief kind of bio on the Diamondbacks and showing what the Yankees went through that season through Game 7 is about an hour and a half. DVD bonus footage includes the home runs from in Game one from Craig Counsell, Game Two home run from Matt Williams, Game Four home runs from Tino Martinez and Derek Jeter, the Game Five home run from Scott Brosius and Alphonso Soriano's game-winning single, and the entire comeback by the Diamondbacks in game 7 starting with Mark Grace's single to Luis Gonzalez's bases loaded bloop single to win the World Series. Diamondback fans and Yankee Haters will enjoy this DVD but Yankee fans stay away.
