This is a good way to re-live the past MLB season for the Yankees. I said "good" not "great" and there is a difference. Yes, the footage, since they had like five or six different cameras used during the game, is excellent. The soundbytes aren't bad either. However, I wish there was more.
But the championship DVD is still not bad.
I thought some of the sound work done for the World Series DVD was unnecessary such as the echo effect used twice. What was that for? And there was only one interview with Tyler Kepner (of the NY Times) but several of WFAN's Sweeney Murti? Where was SI's Tom Verducci? ESPN's Peter Gammons? And of former Yankees, the best they could do was former pitcher Jeff Nelson? Why not Bernie Williams since he grew up in the team's farm system although he came up ahead of Jeet, Mo, Jorge, and Andy? And Reggie Jackson is always around so why not him? I would have loved to see what he had to say about Philadelphia's Chase Utley hitting five home runs in the World Series. And no Joba Chamberlain? No mention even of Joe Torre. Incredible!
Ah, a great season that ended with title #27 deserves better. But it's still not bad. Hopefully the other DVD, A Season of Pride, Tradition & Glory, as produced by the YES Network is more in depth (and it usually is).
