Summary: Bad Info from Thomas Magnum
Comment: This is a terrific DVD for Phillies fan, but my main reason for writing is to correct something Thomas Magnum said above. At the time he wrote his review, the Phillies had won 5 NL pennants (of course, the total is now 6 following their 2008 World Series championship), including 1915, which was not including on the DVD, most likely because there is little if any video footage. I understand this information does not really change his review, but it bothers me when someone writing something for (potentially) a large audience is so sloppy with the facts.

Summary: Not What You Expect
Comment: The label fooled me: these are not the games. These are truncated highlights.
Additionally, Major League Baseball, in their typically obnoxious in-your-face ways, have inserted their large logo onto the top right of the screen. It is extremely annoying and makes for a constant distraction. The games float around while the logo remains still - sticks out like a sore thumb. The good thing is that it cements in your mind that the MLB monopoly is worthy of contempt.

Summary: Phillies World Series Years
Comment: The Phillies have been in existence for 123 years and have only made four World Series appearances, so this DVD is something of an anathema for a Phillie fans. It is both sweet and bittersweet as it celebrates their greatest successes, especially the 1980 championship, but also magnifies the futility of the team (the Marlins have been a team for only ten years yet have won one more title than the Phils). That being said, this is a fine encapsulation of the championship years. It would great if they would release a dvd of the complete 1980 World Series as it was a classic series and would a must own for any fan of the team.

1950 PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES vs NEW YORK YANKEES 1980 PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES vs KANSAS CITY ROYALS 1983 PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES vs BALTIMORE ORIOLES 1993 PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES vs TORONTO BLUE JAYS Relive all the classic moments of four Phillies World Series appearances in 43 years in this one-of-a-kind digitally-preserved DVD. Led by Richie Ashburn, Robin Roberts, Jim Konstanty and Del Ennis, the 1950 "Whiz Kids" won the pennant on the last day of the season and faced the New York Yankees in the Fall Classic. Thirty years later the greatest moment in Phillies history took place at Veterans Stadium when Tug McGraw struck out Kansas City’s Willie Wilson. The scoreboard said it all: WORLD CHAMPIONS! Mike Schmidt, Steve Carlton, Larry Bowa, Greg Luzinski, Garry Maddox and Bob Boone anchored the Phillies. Schmidt and Carlton were joined by the likes of Joe Morgan, John Denny and Al Holland to win another Phillies NL pennant in 1983 and a trip to the World Series against Baltimore. In 1993, Lenny Dykstra, Darren Daulton, John Kruk Curt Schilling, and Mitch Williams led a wild and crazy bunch to an upset victory over Atlanta in the playoffs. In dramatic fashion, Toronto won a second consecutive World Series championship.
