 Reggie's 3 HR GameJan 28, 2010
This product was a great deal. You get all six of the 1977 World Series Games. Every pitch and every hit. As a bonus you get the 5th game of the AL Championship between the Yankees and the Royals. To show how much I love this product, I bought one copy for myself and two other copies as gifts. Now I wish they would release the 1978 World Series. That was a great season and series. It featured the Yankees 14 games behind the Red Sox and one of the greatest comebacks in sports history ending with a tie in the regular series and an AL East championship game between the Yankees and Red Sox to decide the division. What Yankee fan could forget the four game series that the Yankees swept in Boston, which will always be known as "The Boston Massacre" This 1977 series is great, but I hope they continue it with the 1978 World Series to complete the era.

Great DVD setDec 25, 2008
This is a fantastic DVD collection. I just can't wait for the Yankees 1978, 1996, 1998, 1999 and 2000 sets. I would buy them all!

Give this DVD a look It's Great TVMay 28, 2008
Wow talk about exaggeration. When I read some of these reviews I was not expecting much when I first viewed this set. I think the most neutral observer would say that this is a good set. Looking first at the technical issues and picture, people have to understand that this tapes were recorded some 30 years ago and especially with some of the less notable games quite literally sat on a shelf somewhere. It isn't like today where everything is archived on digital. The tape is damaged by exposure to elements on the edges so when this set was produced they probably cropped it so that there wouldn't be a hazy ring around the picture. The bottom line, you lose maybe a line of in game statistics that it. The image on the screen still looks pretty much the way it did when it first aired. One review said something like the players on the screen have no feet to which I reply were we looking at the same thing??? As for the ALCS game 5, outside of the last outs of the game when is the last time the network work showed it? I can't remember. Yea the picture isn't perfect but its still entertaining. As for game 6 there are a few glitches but all the key moments especially Reggie's homers are crystal clear.
Now onto the content of the DVDs. This set gives you a chance to see the actual games as they aired not the MLB highlights films which drive me crazy because of the lack of play by play and memorable calls. There are at least three great games in the set, ALCS game 5, World Series Games 1 and 6. The other games are also pretty exciting there really is only one boring game and that is the laugher L.A. won in Game 5.
All in all this was a great series. I hope they do one for 1978. As for an extra game- I think we have all seen the 78 AL East playoff- great great game! - my suggestion though would be to include ALCS game 3 when Munson hit the 460' 2 run monster shot off Doug Bird to put the Yanks on their way to victory.

The Picture is Really Not that Bad....Nov 18, 2007
Regarding the other numerous complaints about picture quality (widescreen format) on this DVD release.... I think that unless one is really OCD about these kind of things, it's not really that bad. Yes, a few of the primitive 1977 graphics get a -little bit- chopped off at the bottom (of game 1), but by game 2 the formatting is much better. One must remember that these game tapes are now 30 years old, and getting them in any format is better than nothing.
Unlike the 1975 World Series boxset, every minute of the games are here, and it's a delight for fans of classic baseball. I'm not even a Yankees or a Dodgers fan, and I'm having lots of fun going through the games here on this DVD set.
