Summary: The Greatest World Series of All Time
Review: All you people who said that the D'backs were lucky for winning the 2001 World Series, your wrong! The 2001 team was one of the most talented team. They were able to capitalize on Mariano Rivera's pitching in the 9th inning. You have to have great timely hitting to beat him. No "lucky" team could beat Rivera in the postseason. This is a great video. It shows the entire series to full detail. Both the Yankees and D'backs are given their fair amount of time. This is a great video, even for Yankee fans. Man, I wish all the World Series are as exciting as this!

Summary: Start spreading the news, the Yankees lose.
Review: An excellent documentary about one of the best World Series ever. This is an absolute must for any Arizona Diamondbacks fan. It starts off by showing highlights from the D'Backs season - Johnson striking out 20, Gonzo hitting his 57th Homerun, Schilling being the first 20 game winner, etc. Then there are highlights from the NLDS and NLCS. Next the focus turns to the Yankees season (including past WS triumphs), the ALDS (including Jeter's amazing defensive plays - WOW) and ALCS.
Each game of the World Series is covered in great detail, including player and manager commentary. You also have a mixture of announcers from Fox Sports TV, Yankees & Diamondbacks radio coverage.
The Bonus Features are basically the key Homeruns/Hits during the Series, but there is an extra bonus for D'Back fans - the bottom of the 9th of Game 7 in its entirety!
The picture quality is very good. Some scenes are razor sharp, yet others are grainy - footage was obviously taken from many different sources. The sound is good (DD 2.0) but at times the commentary and radio coverage can sound bright and piercing - a bit annoying. For all the Yankee fans out there, I just have to say "See Ya! The-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e Diamondbacks WIN!"

Summary: Diamonbacks Only Lucky
Review: As a lifelong Yankees fan, this DVD is very good, except for the way it ended. Brings to mind the end of the 1960 World Series against Pittsburgh. Even though I was very young at the time, I still remember the heartache of the better team LOSING, as was the case in 2001 (Arizona wins on a bloop hit, unlike how the Yankees win with home runs...) Nevertheless, an exciting World Series - well covered in this presentation.

Summary: Perfect!!
Review: I am a Yankees fan. They may have lost this one but this was the best. After sweepin` the Padres and Braves, wining 4 games to 1 agenst the Mets, the towers colapsed. New York needed some relief. The Yankees won the pennant. Everyone was happy again. Sorrow had ridden on the city before this. Osama Bin Laden was on everyones deathlist. Untill the Yankees fans (and Mets fans) calmed down to watch the world series. 3 remarkable comebacks had happened in games 3,4,and 5 gave the yankees a 3-2 series lead. The miricle in The Bronx was over in a flash... New York
0 0 0 0 0 2 0 0 0 2 8 1
Arizona
1 3 8 3 0 0 0 0 0 15 22 0 Game 6 belonged to the Diamondbacks. Game 7 came down to the 11th inning. "The pitch..BASE HIT FOR GONZALEZ. THE DIAMONDBACKS HAVE WON THE WORLD SERIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" That broke the Yankees streak...this was though the best because even though Yankees = History Diamondbacks = Future The Yankees won the pennant and that was good enough

Summary: A Great Memory of a Great Series (actually 4 1/2 stars)
Review: I am not a big Diamondbacks fan or a Yankees fan (on the contrary, I HATE them). So I had been rooting against the Yankees all year, and slowly began to take notice of the D-Backs. I had watched the Yanks win 3 World Series in a row, only losing 1 game to their 12 WS wins.
Once the series started, I was pretty hyped about those D-Backs and was really ready to watch the Yankees lose. The only series' I had seen so far were boring, because I had only really been a baseball fan since '98, when I was about 9 years old.
But this series wasn't a quick sweep, or a lopsided series. It was amazing. Right down to Game 7, Bottom of the 9th, Final Pitch. What a thriller! What a roller-coaster ride! This DVD is almost as good as the series itself, and brings back many fond memories and feelings that were created while I watched it on TV. The music, footage and commentary is great. The only part I didn't like was the part about the Yankees, in the ALDS against the A's.
That was such a sell-out series, I think the A's lost on purpose. Anyways, I couldn't STAND when they made such a big stink about Derek Jeter's 'backhand shuffle' or when he 'threw his body into the stands' to make a catch. Those plays were so fake, especially when he 'fell' into the stands. But overall, this a great purchase for any Diamondbacks fan, Yankees fan, or baseball fan.

Summary: A true Fall Classic
Review: I'm not usually attracted to baseball; I prefer the high-speed-high impact sports like NFL football & the occasional hockey game. But, for some strange reason, I decided to tune in for the 2001 World Series. There was something different about this one compared to the last several contests the Yankees were in, and won fairly handily. I know it sounds cliché, but there was a certain vibe to it. I guess seeing a relatively new team going up against the games' winning-est franchise was the big draw. Could the upstarts take the title away from the perennial champions? This presentation includes many of the great highlights from both teams' playoff runs as well as the best World Series moments that made this particular "Fall Classic" worthy of the moniker. It's also one of the best-produced and edited sports docs I've ever laid eyes on. It even surpasses the quality of some of NFL Films' higher-end efforts, which is no small feat! From the D-Backs' early two-game lead to the Yanks' two amazing come-from-behind extra-innings victories to Arizona's comeback win in the seventh game, this production succeeds beautifully in displaying the emotions and frustrations in this back-and-forth battle that became one for the ages! But not only were the highlights a joy to watch, the background music was some of the best I've ever heard! Hopefully, someone will see fit to release these tunes either on CD or MP3, as I found many of these pieces to be quite dramatic and inspiring! I'm hoping both of these teams make it back for 2002. If there's anything as exciting as the upstart taking the championship belt away, it's the former champ trying to retake the title in the rematch! Y'know, kinda like 'Rocky III', 'cept different...

Summary: Finally, a DVD for a Yankee Hater
Review: I've been a baseball fan since the 1998 season and have been disappointed year after year. Being a Yankee Hater, I had to watch the team I rooted for lose to the Yankees three years in a row. To add insult to injury, out of the Padres, Braves, and Mets, only the Mets could win a single game. Then came the 2001 World Series. Arizona actually wins in an exciting 7 game series. This documentary DVD shows the important hits, catches, and key performances by pitchers in all 7 games from the Diamondbacks 2 wins in a row, the Yankees winning 3 games in a row with two dramatic 9th inning home runs off of Byung-Hun Kim, to the Diamondbacks record 22 hits in Game 6 and the dramatic comeback by the Diamondbacks in the bottom of the 9th in Game 7. The entire documentary starts with a brief kind of bio on the Diamondbacks and showing what the Yankees went through that season through Game 7 is about an hour and a half. DVD bonus footage includes the home runs from in Game one from Craig Counsell, Game Two home run from Matt Williams, Game Four home runs from Tino Martinez and Derek Jeter, the Game Five home run from Scott Brosius and Alphonso Soriano's game-winning single, and the entire comeback by the Diamondbacks in game 7 starting with Mark Grace's single to Luis Gonzalez's bases loaded bloop single to win the World Series. Diamondback fans and Yankee Haters will enjoy this DVD but Yankee fans stay away.
