Los Angeles Dodgers 1988 World Series Collector's Edition

great series for Dodger fans
What an interesting World Series this was. We see the best of Tommy Lasorda as a manager, the coming of age of Orel Hershiser the famous Kirk Gibson home run off Eckersley and the blossoming of McGwire and Canseco as the bash brothers. Little did we know about steroid use at that time. So the Lasorda-led Dodgers were able to defeat the more youthful and upstart Oakland As. Another Oakland World Championship had to wait until 1989 (the very next season).

This has to be a best seller among Dodger fans. I bet Bruce Kendall has this in his collection. It's a wonder that he hasn't reviewed it.

i HAVE seen it all and DO believe!!!
first off to answer the question of the "reviewer" who hasn't seen it..
YES, as a bonus feature one can watch the Kirk Gibson home run with the alternate Joe Buck, "I can't believe what I just saw" call. All of us in LA will continue to prefer the Vin Scully called as aired...when Vinny just shut up and let the scene play out after he called the homer.

Back to the set...its pretty great..
a couple of games from the improbable Mets Series and then the complete world series..and lots of bonus interviews and awards presentations on the last DVD.

If you are a Dodger fan...its hard to believe its been 20 years...buy this. It is much more than one home run...Hershiser had one of the best seasons and post seasons a pitcher EVER had...and many fringe players like Micky Hatcher came through in the clutch. a lot of goodies here and lets hope 1981 when we (oops I've given away my bias) upset the Yankees gets this sort of presentation!

Go...

It Sure Sounds Great
