I was hoping to replace my 3 DVD set with this one disk Blu-Ray edition and not because I expected much video quality improvement because the source films used in the program are old. But what I didn't bargain for was a change in the format from the DVD 3 disk editions! The original show is in 4:3 format because of the material available in the old films. But someone in their infinite wisdom decided to reformat this into 16:9 widescreen!!! Ughhh There's only 2 ways to do that: the first being to horizontally 'stretch' the frame thereby severely distorting the picture (which should come with an automatic prison term) that we see all too often by amateurs who actually think they're converting to 'HD'. The other way (the way it's done here) is to crop off the top and the bottom of the frame then zoom up the remainder to 'widescreen'. So if you enjoy watching an incomplete (cropped) picture and fuzzed up video this is the version for you. Otherwise you want to stick with the DVD versions. So disappointed (and ticked off too).

If you’re a baseball fan, and especially if you are also a history buff, you’ll love these films. Beautifully written with a memorable score. Watching these films still gives me goosebumps.

One of the greatest baseball productions ever made, capturing the true essence of the game during the prime decades of the 1940's through the 1960's. The original color footage, along with a sensational musical score and commentary from several notable authors and actors, makes this a cherished piece of nostalgia for any diehard or casual baseball fan!
