Description:
The stories of three of baseball?s greatest legends now available in a 3-pack. Mantle: The Definitive Story of Mickey Mantle The almost mythic career of Yankee slugger Mickey Mantle is the subject of this acclaimed HBO Sports documentary special. Over 18 seasons with the Bronx Bombers, despite constant nagging injuries, Mantle managed to hit 536 home runs, twice hitting more than 50 in a season. To this day, ?The Mick? remains the greatest switch-hitter in baseball history; however, behind his country charm and good looks there was his wayward lifestyle that harmed his marriage, his relationship with his four sons and ultimately his health. Where Have You Gone, Joe DiMaggio? A great ? and greatly loved ? baseball player, Joe DiMaggio is one of the few men to truly define the spirit of baseball and, in so doing, capture the hearts of a nation. His 56-game, record-breaking hitting streak; delivering the Yankees nine World Series championships; three time Most Valuable Player; and most eligible bachelor, married twice, the second time to screen goddess Marilyn Monroe; this is a lifetime of great glories, great tragedies, but always, great baseball. Babe Ruth ? The Life Behind the Legend He was a legend in his own time, and a legend for all time. He saved our national pastime from the disgrace which followed the 1919 ?Black Sox: scandal, and brought baseball back to the heartland of America. He was a generous and wild, playful and free-living, loving of children, charity and the game. He was a baseball player the world came to know as Babe Ruth.

Rating: - Legends in Pinstripes
The three DVD's in this set are supurb. They are so tastefully
done and cover such a wide range of each players life that it
is impossible to lose inerest. Even a non baseball fan would
find them interesting. They were a gift to my husband and he is
absolutely thrilled with their excellence. I found the purchase
price to be a bargain, a wonderful choice to give to any baseball
fan on your gift list. SG
Rating: - Long Live the Yankees
If you are a baseball fan you will love this collection. It's a compelling narrative on 3 of the most famous Yankees ever to don the famous pin striped uniforms (the best uniform in all of sports).
When you see the old Yankee Stadium in the old stock footage you will notice the grave tomb stone monuments in centerfield (in the field of play) where they buried Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, and Miller Huggins. When Mickey Mantle and Joe DiMaggio died they buried them next to Ruth, Gehrig, and ... Read More
