LUIS TIANT was HUGE in this SERIES January 20, 2010
Jeffrey R. Bednar (kaneohe, hawaii United States)
The "BIG RED MACHINE", probably the greatest line-up of my lifetime, were my heroes when I was growing up, so when I bought these excellent DVD'S it was to flashback my childhood heroes. What happened? Well beginning with GAME 1 I was immediately impressed with " EL TIANTE ". He tosses a complete game shutout in that one, shutting down the aforementioned line up with only 5 hits. Then in GAME 4 on the road he throws a complete game 5-4 victory while throwing 163 PITCHES. Never in the 21st century is that going to happen. In game 6 he gives up 3 runs but keeps it close which eventually allows the bull pen to keep it tight and then FISK hits the bottom of the 12th game winning HOME RUN off the " GREEN MONSTER " foul pole to FORCE A GAME 7. Please watch the baseball fundamentals in this series a la "hitting the cut off man", "hitting to the opposite field", "sacrifice bunting for the team no matter how big of a star you are", amazing series, amazing drama, but most of all amazing LUIS TIANT.
1975 World Series DVD Collection May 18, 2009

Outstanding! Incredible collection of all seven games of the 1975 World Series, original NBC broadcast taking me back to my childhood days watching the heroes of a more celebrated time in baseball history, when the game was far less commercialized, the players were true baseball players, with normal physical attributes. Thrilled to have this.

This has been put up there as the greatest or one of the greatest World Series ever played. It has all the credentials. Sparky Anderson had put together a great team that would remain great for many years. They had Tony Perez, Joe Morgan, Pete Rose, Johnny Bench and more. The Red Sox had Jim Rice, Fred Lynn and Carl Yastremski for an outfield and Carlton Fisk for a catcher. Yet it is the little known player not destined for Cooperstown who sometimes have a big moment in the World Series. Billy Martin and Bobby Richarson for the 1952 and 1960 Yankees respectively. Al Gionfreddo for his catch on Joe D. in 1947. Sandy Amoros for his catch on Yogi Barra in 1955 and many others. In this series there was a very clutch home run by Bernie Carbo of the Reds.
Of course the most famous home run of th series was Carlton Fisk's because
(1) It won game 6 for the Red Sox and (2) it took the series to a decisive 7th game and (3) it was so close to the left field foul pole that Fisk went down the first base line and tried to "wave" the ball fair (a very familiar sight every time the home run is shown).
A Moving Experience June 22, 2007
Fred Roberts (Hamburg , Germany)
I was 13 in 1975 and of course these games are a part of my experience growing up in Cincinnati. But I have been living overseas since the 80's - far removed from baseball. Just watching Pete Rose up to bat the first time in the first inning of game one was a completely moving and emotional experience. That round sets the tone for the rest of the games. And somehow I noticed, the baseball I've seen recently does not measure up at all. Baseball lost something in the 30 years that have gone by. The players all seem faceless to me, the games mechanical. This wordl series is baseball played by the gods.
I highly recommend this set for anyone who has missed baseball for a while, or as a present to introduce the sport to someone in a non-baseball country.
