New 1988 World Series DVD Set
NEW YORK, NY– The annals of sports history are studded with teams that overcame the odds to capture championships. Teams that made up for lack of talent with extra heart, drive and determination. The 1988 Los Angeles Dodgers were such a team. Entering the postseason as distinct underdogs, the Tommy Lasorda-led squad, through teamwork, grit and perseverance, wrote themselves into the history books and, in doing so, created some indelible World Series moments. This March, as the team begins its last year of Spring Training in Vero Beach’s legendary Dodgertown before decamping for Arizona – commemorate the 20th anniversary of its surprising victory over the Oakland A’s with THE LOS ANGELES DODGERS 1988 WORLD SERIES COLLECTOR’S EDITION.Released in conjunction with the Dodgers 50th anniversary in Los Angeles, fans of the team have never had a memento like this: the Dodgers ’88 World Series and National League Championship Series games play out across seven remarkable DVDs, including all five World Series games in their entirety, plus the complete Game 4 and Game 7 of the NLCS. Featuring over 17 hours of never-before-available full-game content, all of the heroics of Mickey Hatcher, Mike Scioscia, Orel Hershiser and Kirk Gibson, who in his only 1988 World Series plate appearance issued the home run memorialized as “impossible” by Vin Scully, “unbelievable” by Jack Buck” and “Gone!” by Don Drysdale, are showcased and digitally preserved for fans’ viewing pleasure.
