1.Baseball - A Film by Ken Burns starring: Hank Aaron, Bud Abbott, Roger Angell, Arthur Ashe, Red Barber April 16, 1995
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $16.00
This series was so interesting and so well done that I bought sets for two friend and three of my children. Not only did it cover baseball it covered Americana.

2.Ali's Greatest Fights - I Shook Up the World (Clay vs. Liston 1964) / Rumble in the Jungle (Ali vs. Foreman 1974) / Thrilla in Manila (Ali vs. Frazier III 1975) starring: Muhammad Ali, George Foreman, Joe Frazier May 26, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $18.90
These three Ali fights were not only great moments in sports history. They were also memorable events from a historical standpoint. Muhammad Ali is the reason why there is so much money in sports today. Salaries were modest before Ali's time. They grew exponentially during his time. And they virtually exploded later on. And his first fight with Sonny Liston changed boxing history forever, just as Tiger Woods' record breaking Master's win in 1998 changed golf forever. Buy this 3 tape vhs set, and own a piece of history. See a young Ali box rings around Liston. See a cagey Ali 10 years later dismantle the younger, more powerful George Foreman. And watch in awe as a heavier, aging Ali goes toe to toe with Joe Frazier in their third fight, the famed Thrilla in Manila.

3.When We Were Kings starring: Muhammad Ali, George Foreman, Don King, James Brown, B.B. King directed by: Leon Gast November 18, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.01
in this viewer's eyes, ali is the greatest sports figure of our time. as i watched this powerful documentary, other sports heroes of mine -- michael jordan, lance armstrong -- faded away in comparison to the athletic skill, courage, wisdom, presence and sheer humanity of ali. focused on ali's fight against foreman in zaire, this documentary is about that and much more. it captures ali at his peak. the humor. the intelligence. the courage. the honesty about race in america. the willingness to stand up for his beliefs at great cost. the phenomenal, unmatched boxing skill. this movie makes clear that ali transcended his sport to become an icon and leader across the globe. this is one to watch for inspiration, for entertainment, to remember and enjoy, and to show your kids.

4.Mlb: Yankees - Pinstripe Power 1961 starring: Mlb May 26, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $4.99
Besides that great race to beat Babe Ruth's single season home run record, the 1961 Yankees were the last truly great '60s Yankees team. Best of all are the game action footage shots of old Yankee Stadium where the monuments were still in play and, get this, fans used to walk onto the field post-game to get to their nearest exit!

5.Greener Grass: Cuba, Baseball and the United States starring: Christopher White directed by: Tommy Lasorda, Aaron Woolf, Rudolf Caggegari, Nancy Roth, Luis Moreno August 01, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $23.96
This documentary,which originally aired on PBS in the spring, chronichals the baltimore orioles trip to Cuba a couple of seasons ago, and the subsequent effect on the cuban population, both in Cuba and in the States.The tone of the documentary is friendly, too friendly actually to accomplish it's task. One CANNOT avoid the political implications of a major league baseball team playing the cuban natl. team.That is where the documentary lags. Where it really takes off is the interview with the fan in the street and barber shop[what extraordinary fans],on the origins of Cuban Baseball[native or imported],on the great, great cuban players gone past, on the ice of the embargo. When it comes back to the states, it bogs down. The peripatetic protesters,the agent waiting for defections, the ... defenses of Fidel,the ... Read More

6.Glory Days of Wrestling starring: Glory Days of Wrestling February 15, 1999
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.11
Hate cliches, but "back in the day", Professional Wrestling was fun...and interesting. Whether or not you believed the matches were for the most part scripted, the combatants looked like normal people, and so when Bruno Sammartino lifted in the air, then threw over the ropes (at the Teaneck Armory in 1964 - I was there) 357 pound Gorilla Monsoon, it was something beyond crazy acrobatics. Well, Bruno and Monsoon are not included here, but the archival footage of their predecessors is what is highlighted here. We have Georgeous George versus Jesse James; Antonino Rocca vs. Johnny Valentine; Rocco, Miquel Perez and Rick Starr vs. The Fabulous Kangaroos and Dr. Jerry Graham; 'Killer' Kowalski vs. Edward Carpentier; Hystacks Calhoun vs. 'Killer' Brooks; and Buddy 'Nature Boy' Rogers vs. Pat O'Connor. For ... Read More

7.Victory by Design:The Porsche Story starring: Victory By Design December 16, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $29.93
If there's a definitive Porsche video, this may well be it. De Cadenet's knowledge and method of getting that knowledge to the viewer is without equal. Every Porsche model is here, both racing and production. And best of all, no commercials to interrupt the flow.

8.A Century of Success: St. Louis Cardinals 100th Anniversary starring: Mlb-St. Louis Cardinals, Jack Buck, Stan Musial January 06, 2000

9.75 Seasons: 1920 to 1995 - The NFL's 75th Anniversary starring: 75 Seasons: 75th Anniversary of NFL September 27, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.23
This is one of those NFL Films videos I like to check out during the off-season when the pigskin bug's a-callin', and I need my fix. From the NFL's efforts to gain the same legitimacy that college football enjoyed, to Art Rooney's Steelers finally becoming winners in the 70s, to the heartbreak of the four-time losers known as the Vikings, Bills and Broncos, to club-footed kicker Tom Dempsey hitting the longest field goal in league history, to the often caustic wit of late Bucs coach John McKay, there's quite a bit of ground covered in this show's relatively scant 90-minute-long span. Other great NFL moments touched upon: - Some words with Chuck Bednarik, the NFL's last "60-minute man" - The rise of the AFL as a competitive threat to the NFL - The Chicago Bears' ... Read More
