St. Louis Cardinals: 2011 World Series Collectors Edition

This edition is much better than the 2006 box set. I really like that there is postgame interviews and analysis. I also really like that there is optional radio play by play commentary from both teams as well. I would have preferred Game 6 of the NLCS included. Or the set be available in HD. Other than that, this set is near perfect for any Cardinals fan.

This complete collection of every minute of play from every game of the 2011 World Series -- one of the most exciting in decades -- is an essential addition the the collection of any baseball fan. From Albert Pujols' historic barrage in Game Three to the remarkably dramatic Game Six comeback(s) to the final out of Game Seven, it is all here in crystal clear video. Even if you are not a Cardinals fan (but especially if you are!) this is just the thing to get you through the long winter before the start of spring training.I last purchased one of these collectors boxes back in 2006 (connect the dots ...). A new feature since then which is worth mentioning is that you can now choose from a total of four audio tracks: the FOX television broadcast (Joe Buck, Tim McCarver), the Spanish language telecast, and local radio broadcasts from St Louis and Texas. This is a real treat for fans like me who listen to a lot of games on the radio and enjoy listening to the home town broadcast team call the game -- especially as it is presented here synced up perfectly with the video. The addition of these extra audio tracks means that you can enjoy each game a number of times from a fresh perspective each time.Pay ball!

I understand all the complaints. I believe I am the first to review the actual DVDs. By the fifth inning of the first game, I forgot my issues with picture quality and started to enjoy the games. By most any measure, Game 6 is one of greatest games in World Series history. And that's the way it comes across here, with all the post-game interviews and comments included. In my case, some of the post-game stuff is new because my local station cut in with the "11 o'clock news." But, all the games are interesting...seven game World Series with two evenly-matched teams are very rare these days.I am disappointed with the Bonus DVD, which is a recap of the two playoff series, and a small portion of the Cardinals victory parade. Why bother, if that's all you show?For Cardinal fans (like me) who are upset about Albert Pujols leaving for the Angels, it was chance to watch Albert for one last time. I am angry about Pujols leaving, but again the World Series is so interesting, he eventually becames just part of an unusally interesting sports event. David Freese, Lance Berkman and Chris Carpenter are the Cardinal heros, except for Pujols's three-homer game.Give the DVDs a chance!

Not a Cardinals fan but this was a great series. An excellent addition to my baseball collection. Came as described and on time so I’m happy.

As soon as Game 6 happened I knew I would have to find the DVD set, even if we ended up losing the series (fortunately we won Game 7 as well) to be able to show my children and my childrens children.. like 06, this was a very improbable world series win with an underdog cards team that never quit, even being down 2 runs and with 1 strike left TWICE, even being 10.5 games out of even making the playoffs with just over a month left in the season, this team never said die and always played to try and have the "happy flight"...And with the price of this set here, it was impossible to pass up... every world series game in its entireity, 8 disc set, beyond well worth the awesome price set for a historic series that should find a sacred spot on the shelf of any STL fan...

If you are (a) a die-hard fan of the game, you probably watched this live, so you already know that game 6 was the best played World Series game ever. And (b) you get to re-live the entire series, each game in its entirety, not just the highlights. Added bonus - this is Tony Larussa at his finest as the best strategic manager the game has ever known. Enjoy some apple pie and Cracker Jack when you watch it. :)

I bought the 2006 edition on DVD and it was great. I was waiting for this in Hi Def as the entire series was shot that way but alas it does not appear that it will be available. What gives. Is MLB losing it. They have not had Bluray editions of any of the past world series and I would have expected it for at least the last 3.So disappointed. Common MLB we what it in high deffinition!!!!!Oh the games were great and I want to see game 6 over and over again but I still want it on BluRay.Update: While there is still no BluRay Amazon did lower the price to 31.99 so I finally broke down and bought it. The games are great and for 32 I can live with DVD but come on MLB they should be in hi-def.

This is my very favorite team - and i watched this entire EXCITING World Series on TV, so i wanted to have the memories forever. I still had the final 2 games on my DVR - so exciting and fun, i just could not bear to erase them (even though my DVR was filling up fast). Then i started searching for the entire collection on DVD but really could not find it anywhere but Amazon - at the price i wanted to pay.Very pleased - a great addition to my Cards collection!!! (I also have the 2006 Series on DVD.)
