Customer Reviews of New York Yankees 1977 World Series Collector's Edition
Forced Widescreen? I've now watched all seven games in this set and I really enjoyed the trip down memory lane. The video quality is acceptable for something 30 years old, and the sound is fine with the exception of a 1 minute gap in the bottom of the fifth of Game 1. Having said that, the fools who produced this set formatted it for widescreen TVs by chopping off the top and bottom of the original 4X3 broadcast. Yeah, it fits a 16X9 TV nicely, but the players have no feet, you can't read the bottom line of the graphics, and you feel like you are watching the game through a tunnel. Why would they do something so stupid when most 16X9 TVs and/or DVD players allow you to adjust the aspect ratio yourself - if you choose to do so??? <

>I really like these old broadcasts on ABC because the picture is pure baseball without all of the worthless information FOX crams on the top of the screen on the more recent sets. But please, if the game wasn't recorded in widescreen don't force it by cutting the original picture!
For those who remember and those who will never forget...
"Reggie! Reggie! Reggie!"

>Those who love baseball or even just like it often have that one era that absolutely defined the game for them; for me, it was, and always will be the 1977 New York Yankees - the time of Thurman Munson (R.I.P.), Bucky Dent, Lou Piniella, Graig Nettles, Billy Martin and my all-time favortie baseball hero (to this day), REGGIE JACKSON!!!

>From my perspective and my memories, I recall that in 1977, the eyes of the world seem to momentarily focus on New York City - some crazy mountain climber (can't remember his name) decided to scale one of the twin towers of the World Trade Center and was fined $1.10 for all 110 stories of the building, the Son of Sam serial killer was still at large, NYC nearly tore itself apart during the summer blackout, disco and Studio 54 ruled the night and, oh yeah, Jackson's three (3) legendary home runs during Game 6 of the World Series against the L.A. Dodgers. They would repeat their World Series victory against the Dodgers once again a year later in 1978.

>Despite the poor picture quality at time (these TV telecasts are 30 years-old; what more can you expect?), I was in awe of watching my classic baseball heroes take the field again. I had also completely forgotten that when Game 6 ended and the Yankess won it, Reggie had to literally run for his life off of the field in order to avoid being mauled by the joyous fans who swarmed the field.

Worth it for Yankees fans, but picture really annoying
As mentioned, the picture in almost every game chops out the bottom part of the on-screen graphics. It is rather frustrating. Game Six of the World Series and Game Five of the ALCS are the best as far as seeing the graphics. Unfortunately, the video quality isn't very good for Game Six and the ALCS game is missing parts of the game. It isn't missing much, but enough so you'll notice. Also, the audio fluctuates during games. Keith Jackson, Tom Seaver, and Howard Cosell handle announcing duties during ABC's broadcast of the World Series. As a nice touch, A&E and MLB Productions placed the local Yankees telecast of the ALCS game on this set. The announcing for that game is handled by Bill White, Frank Messer, and the one and only Phil Rizzuto. Bottom line, this DVD set is a worthy purchase, but you might not want to pay full price.
