The New York Yankees: Essential Games of Yankee Stadium (DVD, 2008, 6-Disc Set)

I am a Red Sox fan and just like any Yankees fans I am devoted die hard fan to my team! I have added this great dvd set to my collection because I do admire and really respect the Yankees (like Dr. Smith on Lost in Space the sort of villian you love to hate or visa versa!) These games are really classic and are games I got to enjoy watching as a youth loving baseball! I think though that a few games that should have been added to this collection might have been Dave Rhegetti's July 4, 1983 no hitter against the Red Sox which was a classic game! Or perhaps one of these games like David Cones, David Wells or Dwight Goodens no hitters might be concidered. But these were games in this boxed set were ones voted by the Bronx Bombers basic fans on a survey taken by the NY press! ONE other game that should really be included was the last summer's All Star Game that was played this past July 2008 which was an extra inning thriller won by the American League, AND IN MY OPINION: was the greatest All-Star Game ever played!

NOW THE GAMES OF THIS BOXED SET:

1976 ALS Game 5 thriller vs Kansas City Royals: Chris Chamblis smashes a home run in the bottem of the 9th inning to send the Yankees to their first World Series in 11 Seasons.

1977 World Series Game 6 vs Los Angeles Dodgers: Reggie Jackson hits three homeruns, an amazing feat that will never be matched by any one else!

1995 ALDS Series Game 2 vs the Seattle Mariners: A 15th inning thriller that the Yankees out last the Mariners thanks to Don Matingly's only post season homerun and his final appearence at Yankee Stadium before he retired at the end of the 1995 season as one of the greatest players in NY Yankees history.

1996 World Series Game 6 vs Atlanta Braves: After the Yanks are demolished in the first two games of the fall classic, the Yankees bounce back to SHOCK the Braves and win the series due to this game thriller!

2001 World Series Game 4 vs Arizonia Diamond Backs: the upstart young Backs are stunned by tremendous heroics by "MR. Yankee" Derek Jeter's game winning homerun to win this exciting game!

2003 ALCS Game 7 vs Boston Red Sox: Like Bucky Dents 1978 homerun that stunned Red Sox fans for a generation, Aaron Boone in the bottem of the 11th inning once again STUNNED Red Sox Nation with a game ending thrilling homerun that sent the Sox packing and the Yankees to another World Series against upcoming Florida Marlins!

This Boxed set also has many Historic Highlites from amazing games that have been part of Yankee Stadium since it was built and enshrined in 1921 and has become the greatest sports icon in history for the greatest sports franchise in the history of the world!
