After the release had been delayed a few days I was finally able to pick up the 2009 World Series DVD at Modell's earlier today. I sat down and watched it tonight and was very pleased.My only complaint with these kinds of DVDs is that they're never long enough, and the same can be said for this one. Besides that I have no complaints. The DVD had great highlights, good player commentary, and like they always do it gives fans a chance to relive their team's great championship run.
MLB decided to make absolutely no mention of A-Rod steroids troubles, but with all the bad PR baseball has gotten over the whole PED thing I can understand why they decided to leave that out.
The best part of the DVD may even be the bonus features. They include highlights of all the big plays on the Yankees road to #27. Most of the replays are without any kind of play-by-play, which is pretty cool. Here's a list of all of the highlights:
- ALDS Game 2: A-Rod's homer
- ALDS Game 2: Tex's walk-off
- ALCS Game 2: A-Rod's homer
- ALCS Game 2: Yankees walk-off win
- ALCS Game 6: Final out
- WS Game 3: A-Rod's two-run homer
- WS Game 4: Johnny Damon's 9th inning at-bat
- WS Game 4: Damon's steal of second and third
- WS Game 4: A-Rod's RBI double
- WS Game 6: Matsui's two-run homer, two-run single, and two-run double
- WS Game 6: The final three outs
- WS Game 6: Player reactions to the final out
