Review # 1 was written on 2010-03-14 00:00:00 Robert Peter Jacobson It's been a while since I read it, but the three star rating is reflective of the memory that I have - fun to read and look at, but selective in its approach. Due to the limitations of the "reel" don't expect any pre-1930 baseball. I do like the fact that the book covers many Fall Classics and legendary moments. Each chapter is only a couple pages, so it made for a great bedtime story. The accompanying DVD matches 30% or so of the stories, but in an unorganized fashion - they run together and are not in the same order as the book. One would love to read more about the way America saw the newsreels, and just how popular that really was. The newsreels themselves come across as a sports report. And for my tastes, they're too short. But maybe I've been spoiled by all the modern instant replays; the reporters back then could hardly know which plays and players have turned out to be the most memorable. The announcers don't even seem to know the significance of the event. It is clear that modern editing can dramatize to a greater effect. I seem to remember a couple of editing mistakes when looking at captions and the chapters, though I cannot qualify that statement at this time (check for yourself!). That said, there are some excellent pictures to match many unique and historic events. This book fits well into the "reference" part of my baseball library - not for stats, and not for chronological questions, but short stories and pictures that give a glimpse of the black and white photographic era of baseball.

Review # 2 was written on 2015-10-26 00:00:00 Lori Martin A joy to read and view While the book is educational and entertaining with many pictures from the history of baseball, I enjoyed the DVD more. The content is based on what appeared in the newsreels and since their production was ended in the early 1960's, there are no highlights beyond that time. Yet, the viewer is able to experience through video archives some of the greatest moments in baseball. Momentous occasions such as the Pirates victory over the Yankees in the 1961 World Series, Bobby Thomson's home run, Ted Williams' last home run, Lou Gehrig's brief but moving farewell speech and Willie Mays hitting four home runs in a game are all hightlighted. There is more information in the book, but for the fan of baseball history, seeing it happen is the ultimate rush. Events are covered in the book that don't appear in the video, such as a brief overview of flamboyant owner Bill Veeck. He invented the unusual publicity stunt, boosting attendance and leading to some of the most memorable events in the history of baseball. Veeck was also instrumental in integrating baseball, giving the 47 year old Satchel Paige the opportunity to play major league baseball. This is a book and video that baseball fans will cherish, the game of baseball has been an American addiction for a long time and from this package you can see why. This review also appears on Amazon
