Cheap The Golden Decade of Baseball, Part 2: 1947-1957 (Video) (Golden Decade of Baseball) Price

There is no decade more celebrated in baseball than the 10-year period from 1947 to 1957, in which the three New York teams, the Giants, Yankees, and Brooklyn Dodgers, dominated baseball, and that golden time is lovingly celebrated in this video. In interviews with participants, including Willie Mays, Duke Snider, and Whitey Ford, and with extensive use of archival footage, the years are brought to life. Included are such stunning highlights as "The Catch," the brilliant fielding play in which Willie Mays ran down a ball in centerfield and changed the course of the 1954 World Series; "The Shot Heard 'Round the World," Bobby Thomsen's pennant-winning home run in 1951; and films of Mickey Mantle crushing homer after homer against a perennial opponent, the Brooklyn Dodgers. The great moment of Brooklyn's triumph, the Dodgers' victory in the 1955 World Series, is covered in detail. A touching interlude includes film of a dying Babe Ruth being honored at Yankee Stadium in 1948, and another montage features the man who personified "Yankee class," Joe DiMaggio. This is a very professional and fitting tribute to an era in baseball that will always stand apart as one of the most special times in the national pastime. --Robert J. McNamara
