Narrated by Bob Costas and crafted by the filmmakers of Major League Baseball Productions this is the definitive documentary on the World Series, the madness, triumphs, and exhilarating moments that will be remembered for the ages. The expertly blended archival footage, thrilling game action and more than 100 interviews with players, managers, writers, broadcasters, and historians create an exciting and comprehensive chronicle of the Fall Classic.
World Series arrives on DVD with a 480p transfer in the various aspect ratio of 1.78:1 and 1.33:1. The newly shot segments come across perfectly of course as I expected footage varies from vintage B&W and soft to much more crisp and clean clips from the past few years once they started filming in HD. Colors were very strong overall with blues & oranges on the uniforms and green grass came across well. Fine detail was about average. Black levels were good. A fine viewing experience for the World Series. 8/10
Audio is provided by a Dolby Digital 2.0 track. This is a consistently crisp and clean track. Dialogue and and narration was always intelligible. Bob Costas did a fine job hosting. 8/10
