Great way to relive the World Series All 6 games of the 2009 WS plus game 6 of the ALCS are included in this box set. 4 different audio tracks. Fox TV, WCBS Radio (John Sterling), Phillies Radio and ESPN Desportes. Plus an extra disc of bonus features. Looks like another winner from MLB home video. Great Series Marred by Sub-Par Video Quality In theory this set looks simply spectacular: All 6 games of the 2009 World Series, with multiple audio options, highlight reels and slick packaging. However, the video quality of the set is utterly disappointing. Only presented in a 1.33:1 aspect ratio (full-screen), it is syndication quality at best and doesn't even come close to as crisp as the HD broadcasts on Fox. If you don't care about picture, then by all means pick up the set. But they really dropped the ball on this one, which is just heartbreaking or this diehard Bleacher Creature. What Happened? You Can't Hear The Crowd At All!! What happened to the sound editing? You can hear the announcers loud and clear - but the crowd is mixed down to nothing. Every big play, Every big hit - barely any crowd sound. I saw all these games live on TV and the crowd noise was LOUD and CRAZY. Here.....nothing. Takes all the fun out of it. Luckily, my father recorded the games with the TRUE crowd sound. Boo (!)
