Summary: This coulda' been a contender
Review: An opportunity lost. So much more could have been done with this, but was not. The entire DVD should have contained more details and more video of the beeter players. I was not impressed with parts of the documentary and do not recommend the expenditure for this rather short history of the games greats.

Summary: No depth
Review: Baseball fans are accustomed to "greatest players of all time" lists, with endless quibbling about the relative merits of Warren Spahn vs. Lefty Grove and so on and so forth. This DVD is basically just another of these lists, decorated with still photos, brief film clips, music, and some quotes and stats sliding around the screen. Bob Costas isn't given the time to say anything really new or interesting. The whole production lacks depth. (Also, MLB felt the need to include a current young player, but a couple years on now, Ken Griffey Jr. doesn't seem quite like the player-for-the-ages that he did then.) If you really want a comprehensive list of great players through history, get the New Bill James Historical Baseball Abstract book. If you want films of the great old-time players along with the discussion, get the Ken Burns Baseball series or When It Was a Game.

Summary: Great Stuff!
Review: Great entertainment and brought back memories. This was part of my baseball wish list along with "The 59 Minute Baseball Practice" and "When it Was A Game". The video goes thru the ballplayers of past and present. Great quality and insight.

Summary: My dad loves this video!
Review: I gave this video to my dad for his birthday last year. My sister gave him the accompaning book. He loves them and references them often. My dad lost his father 2 years ago and the greatest bond they shared was baseball. I can see the hands of time turn back as he watches the tape or turns the pages of the book. I know he wishes Grandpop was here to share it with him, but I think this helps him remember all the great memories they shared thanks to the game of baseball. He enjoys reliving those great sport moments made by the heroes of yesterday and looks foward to watching the today's heroes make their marks.

Summary: All Century Spectacular!
Review: I had received the VHS version as a birthday gift last year and this year received the DVD and I recommend it highly for any baseball fan. The DVD has so many extras. The players talking about their peers and some terrific video highlights from both the modern and older players. If your a Cub fan like me, you will love the Ernie Banks section which includes the WGN video with Jack Brickhouse of Ernie's 500th home run...not just the home run, but the entire at bat!!! Hey Hey!!! The ceremony sections are terrific as well. If you love this game, you have to have this DVD in your collection.

Summary: Better than average
Review: Overall, this is a good documentary. It has some good backstage footage of the All Century Team awards, including Pete Rose introducing his son (I think) to Ken Griffey, Jr. It's been a while since I watched it, so I don't recall some specific details, but I do remember it being a little brief with each player's biography. It's good for any baseball fan, but I guess I was just expecting a little more from it.

Summary: Great Stuff!
Review: The movie is absolutely incredible. The videography is stunning and their are even clips of the greats from the early 1900's playing such as Ruth and Walter Johnson and many more. The narration is excellent. This is definately a well thought out and constructed piece. It flows very smoothly and features many quotations and interviews with hall of famers and baseball experts. The editing job is marvelous and it completely runs the gauntlet of baseball history. In close I gave it a 5 star rating but I would have given about a 500 if that were possible. SUPER PREMIUM VIDEO!
