"I stoked when this DVD came out originally, however, it could have been better. Maybe my expectations were too high, but I'm a Red Sox fan for cryin out loud. My expectations are obviously going to be high. This was produced by the NESN (New England Sports Network) at a time when John Harrington was owner. I've never liked the NESN projects and now prefer to buy MLB videos. The narrorator was the most difficult thing to deal with in this movie. He sounded like Alan from Late Show with David Letterman. Don't get me wrong, Alan rocks, but you can't stand him talking for three straght hours on a subject he knows very little about. That's what this narrorator was like. The second problem was there was no building of emotion like some of the other videos produced by mlb. For example. It just give you a nice and tidy presentation on how the Red Sox made it to the 1995 divisional series with no explanation on what happened in the postseason. The friggin post season! We don't care what happens during the regular season as much as the postseason.

With the growing popularity with bandwagon fans of the Red Sox, I really hope that MLB will create a one or two disc dvd that will be much better depicting the Red Sox history much similar the the NBA's Celtic Dynasty DVD set. MLB does a great job with their dvd production that I think it would be great. SO write to mlb and tell them what we really need rather than this garbage."
