***VIDEO QUALITY***


2011 World Series arrives on DVD with a 480p transfer in the original aspect ratio of 1.78:1. This is a pleasing standard def downgrade of the HD shot games. Colors were strong with crisp whites. Detail of the gorgeous stadiums and uniforms was good. No major signs of edge enhancement or compression were noticed. 8/10

Audio is provided by a Dolby Digital Stereo 2.0 track. There is some decent stereo separation to bring you into the game. The broadcast commentary is crisp and clean. The highlight of the track is to listen the radio announcer play-by-play that is joy to hear as a baseball fan when watching this milestone. 8/10
