Description: 1961 WORLD SERIES New York Yankees vs Cincinnati Reds Plus: Partial TV Broadcast on DVD! Yankee fans! Reds fans! For the first time ever, the historic highlights of all five games of the 1961 World Series are now available in beautiful COLOR on DVD!! Also included is an hour of very rare, never-before-offered original B & W TV broadcast footage of the series!! Both chapters are narrated by the famed voice of the New York Yankees for decades, Mel Allen! This fabulous new 1 hour, 40-minute DVD brings back all the memories of this memorable classic, which set records and brought thrills to baseball fans almost half a century ago! Actual full-color game-action highlights of all the big plays of every game are included! In the past, you may have seen some footage of this series on TV highlight shows, but with poor, reddish-brown color. Now with the help of the most modern electronic equipment, you can see it again in beautiful natural COLOR! Every scene in the film (numbering in the hundreds) has been individually color corrected digitally to bring back the color and picture sharpness of the original Eastmancolor print! You’ll see great shots of both ballparks, Crosley Field and OLD Yankee Stadium, colorfully decked out in World Series bunting, closeups of the players and home runs by Gordy Coleman, Wally Post, Frank Robinson, Yogi Berra, Bill Skowron, Elston Howard, Hector Lopez, John Blanchard and of course Roger Maris, who hit 61 homers in 1961! You’ll see 25-game winner Whitey Ford break Babe Ruth’s series record for consecutive scoreless innings pitched! Cincinnati fans will remember that the radio voice of the Reds for many years was ex-Yankee Hall Of Fame pitcher Waite Hoyt, and on this DVD, you’ll see and hear Hoyt comment on the series while doing commercials for one of the Reds’ major sponsors of the day, Burger Beer! NOTE: This DVD is pressed from a GLASS MASTER! These are very high-quality and very expensive to make! You’ll be amazed to see the picture quality of this DVD! Here’s what you’ll see: * Game 1 at Yankee Stadium – Behind the 2-hit pitching of 25-game winner Whitey Ford, the Yanks, with homers by Bill Skowron and Elston Howard, win the opener, 2-0. Highlights show Clete Boyer making two spectacular fielding plays to rob the Reds of hits! * Game 2 at Yankee Stadium – Next day 21-game winner Joey Jay brings the Reds even at a game apiece with a 6-2 Cincinnati victory. Gordy Coleman and Yogi Berra trade two-run homers early, but Johnny Edwards’ two key RBI hits and Elio Chacon’s daring base running put the game away for the Reds! * Game 3 at Crosley Field – One of Bob Purkey’s greatest games is ruined on one pitch – the one Johnny Blanchard hits in the 8th inning to tie up the game 2-2! This sets the stage for Roger Maris’ home run in the ninth inning which turns the tide of the series! * Game 4 at Crosley Field – Once again for Cincinnati it was too much Whitey Ford, as the lefty runs his scoreless inning string to 32 consecutive, before leaving the game in the 8th with a foot injury. Jim Coates comes on in relief to nail down a 7-0 Yankee triumph! * Game 5 at Crosley Field – Yanks bomb Reds 13-5 in a slugfest, as Hector Lopez and Johnny Blanchard hit homers for New York while Wally Post and Frank Robinson retaliate for the Reds. Yanks score 5 runs in the first inning and 11 in the first three to put the game away and wrap up the series for New York! Also on this DVD is a full hour of very rare, TV footage from the original NBC broadcast from old Crosley Field, Cincinnati! You’ll see part of Game #4 in which Whitey Ford broke Babe Ruth’s record for consecutive scoreless innings pitched! Also shown is the pre-game show for Game #5 and part of the first inning in which the Yanks score 5 runs off Joey Jay and Jim Maloney!
