Summary: Definition of Dynasty
Review: To someone who grew up a Yankee fan in New York, it seems that the team somehow dates back to when the Dutch bought Manhattan from the Indians; that when the patriots and the Redcoats fought the Battle of Brooklyn in 1776, the Yankees and Dodgers were playing a World Series game in a field owned by a guy named Ebbitt, not far away. This DVD almost seems to prove that theory.

The story presented on this DVD is nothing really new; I was hoping for something a little different. And the fuzzy sepia tone old footage is as dated as the slurpy strings that accompany them. Still, there is a dignity about this film. For me, there is a sense of security and pride that can only come from Babe Ruth's roguish wink and Lou Gehrig's self-conscious smile. The statistics aren't as impressive as the anecdotes but the interviews are great fun. This is a terrific reminder of the great Yankee tradition and dynasty. And a great reminder that New York and the New York Yankees are inseparable.
