The Official Major League Baseball World Series Film Collection is an impressive 20-disc set that assembles all the official World Series highlight films between 1943 and 2008's Philadelphia Phillies victory. The films themselves--the earliest are black and white and under a half-hour, the most recent well over an hour-- are fascinating time capsules of the game, recording many of its greatest players, greatest teams, and greatest moments: the Yankees-Dodgers-Giants intracity rivalry, the St. Louis Cardinals' "Gas House Gang," Willie Mays' catch and Don Larsen's perfect game, Bill Mazeroski's and Kirk Gibson's dramatic home runs, the Mets' miracles, the Big Red Machine, and the Red Sox's curse-breaker. They're packaged in an eye-catching book-sized tome that collects facts and descriptions of the Fall Classic starting in 1903, a list of all winners, a foreword by Bob Costas, and two empty slots to house future films. It's a great gift for any serious baseball fan. --David Horiuchi
