Amazon.com
Vintage World Series Films: Orioles is a two-hour compilation of the official films summarizing the highlights of Baltimore's world championships in 1966, 1970, and 1983. The core of the earlier teams were sluggers Frank Robinson and Boog Powell, great defensive players such as Brooks Robinson (whose play at third base helped him win World Series MVP in 1970), and the great pitching staff including Jim Palmer and Mike Cuellar. Palmer was back in 1983 accompanied by future Hall of Famers Cal Ripken Jr. and Eddie Murray, and more stout pitching arms such as Mike Flanagan, Denny Martinez, Scott McGregor, and Mike Boddicker. Fans of the Orioles from this era can also pick up their complete 1979 World Series against the Pittsburgh Pirates. --David Horiuchi

Product Description
All the glory and classic moments of the Orioles World Series Championships from 1966 to 1983 are digitally preserved on this official DVD.Spanning both three decades and three managers--Hank Bauer, Earl Weaver, and Joe Altobelli--the enduring, common trait of the Baltimore Orioles success was stellar pitching, well-timed power, and peerless defense.The arrival of Frank Robinson in 1966 catapulted the Orioles to their first Fall Classic. Baltimore's pitchers dominated, holding the Los Angeles Dodgers to just two runs--for the entire four-game World Series. Four Octobers later, the Birds power hitting and fielding were on display. The rally-ending defense of Brooks Robinson and the club's 10 home runs in five games helped the O's to a second Championship.In 1983, the familiar formula and a familiar face held an encore. The Orioles staff, including Jim Palmer who provided a bridge to the 1966 victors, stifled the Philadelphia Phillies allowing only seven runs in the five games.

O's World Series Highlights May 23, 2008
This was an excellent product, first of all; however as a long time fan and follower of the Baltimore Orioles, I have a few suggestions. The highlights were too short, there could have been many more. More features with the players and other tidbits (for instance, a nice feature on Earl Weaver?), are in order. Earl was a veritable highlight reel himself, and his numerous confrontations with umpires and Jim Palmer, plus his tomato patch at Memorial Stadium make for great copy and interest for those of us who loved him. I suggest that more of the historical context of the 1966 Series be made as well. All in all, a fine introductory piece for the casual fan; but hardly a fulfilling project for the long-time, hard core O's lover like myself. Perhaps an update in the future could flesh this out a bit more--and increase the price too. Now--when do we get something to honor the BALTIMORE Colts hmm??

A Must for ANY Baltimore Orioles Fan December 13, 2007
As a fan of the Baltimore Orioles, we really haven't had much to cheer about in the last ten years.

It's nice that MLB put the World Series Films from all three Orioles championships on one DVD.

Each film runs about 40 minutes long with highlights from each game.

1966 - The Orioles shock the world and beat the favored LA Dodgers behind the masterful pitching of Jim Palmer, Wally Bunker, and Dave McNally. Homeruns from Paul Blair, and Brooks and Frank Robinson helped too.

1970 - Possibly the best team in Birds history. McNally, Palmer, and Mike Cuellar provide the pitching. Boog Powell and the Robinsons provide the power to beat the mighty Big Red Machine with Pete Rose, Johnny Bench, and Tony Perez.

1983 - The last hurrah. The Birds have a brilliant mix of veterans like Rick Dempsey and Jim Palmer, and young players Eddie Murray and Cal Ripken Jr. to beat the Philadelphia Phillies in five.

Next year will be 25 long years since the last championship.

As for the MLB logo at the top of the screen mentioned by the other reviewer. I agree, it's completely unnecessary, but after like five minutes, you really don't notice it.

Don't let that prevent you from two hours of Baltimore Orioles glory.

Logo Imprint Compromises Presentation November 8, 2006
8 out of 20 found this review helpful

I was thrilled when I first read that MLB Productions was finally issuing a DVD version of highlights of the Baltimore Orioles' three World Series victories. I already owned the VHS versions, one of which (the 1970 World Series) had a major flaw in the audio synchronization (watching the last third of the highlights was like viewing a badly dubbed foreign film). Finally, I could own all three highlights reels on one disc and without the sync error on the 1970 World Series.
Much to my dismay, the MLB logo is permanently, and obtrusively, displayed on the upper right corner of all three programs. What's that all about? Does MLB Productions think I'm going to illegally copy and distribute stills? Thank goodness I don't own a plasma TV or I'd be staring at that stupid logo for the next five years!
Sound and picture quality are okay otherwise. But....that logo is really annoying.
