The Ultiimate Chronicle of the Great Dodgers Tradition!
From the moment they became a part of everyday life in Brooklyn, the Dodgers were something special. Night after night they battled, winning the hearts of fans both young and old. But then they would face the Yankees in the World Series, and "Dem Bums" would break those very same hearts. "Wait until next year" became the mantra in Brooklyn — and following five gut-wrenching World Series losses to those Yankees, "next year" finally came in 1955 when the Dodgers became world champions.
Two seasons later, the team moved to Los Angeles, where in 1959 they again captured the title. The days of Pee Wee Reese, Duke Snider and Jackie Robinson gave way to Sandy Koufax, Maury Wills and Don Drysdale — and two more championships followed in 1963 and ’65. Fernandomania rocked Los Angeles in the early ’80s — and both Valenzuela and Steve Garvey helped lead the Dodgers to still another title in ’81. Then came the magical season of 1988 when Orel Hershiser rewrote the record books — and Kirk Gibson simply wrote a fairy tale.
These are the championship years.

Some fans are complaining about the shortness of the Dodger Blue Championship dvd, so I decided to put in a good word for the *MLB* Vintage Dodger Championship Years dvd. The producers did an overall good job and they especially sank their teeth into the highlights of the incredible '88 Dodger World Series victory. LOTS of the great Vin Scully in that one too, plus post-game interviews with Hershieser and Kirk Gibson... I never get tired of seeing Gibson trot around the infield and pumping his right arm in satisfaction after his pinch hit homer... I was satisfied as a long time Dodger fan with the dvd. But it would have been nice to include the 1955 Brooklyn Dodgers win over the Yanks. That one was a long time comin'. Anyway, I rate it as a strong 4 and it's a TWO dvd set, much more than an hour to try to cram everything in, even though the dvd isn't a general history of the Dodgers from the beginning. For fans who want to savor more than an hour of Dodger glories, they might like the MLB Vintage Dodger dvd better. You get to see to Koufax and Drysdale at their best!

A great trip down memory lane with highlights of the Dodgers' greatest moments. Who can forget Fernandomania, Kirk Gibson's, historic pinch hit homer, Koufax & Drysdale , The Boys Of Summer The First World Series title won in LA?
Recommended viewing for all Dodger and students of Baseball history!

To those who grew up in the Los Angeles area in the 60's,70's,and 80's,we all remember those wonderful years when going to a Dodger game was the most exciting thing in town.....that is until the FOX group changed them for the worse!!! Gone are the days of the Dodger Franchise player (who was the last dodger still in their prime to rank up there on top with the other stars in baseball?). Gone are the days of the family-like atmosphere (Dodger crowds today are no different than the L.A. Raider crowds of the late 1980's/early 1990's). Gone are the days of the affordable ticket prices (of course,there is always the horrible pavilion and top deck sections). Gone are the days when we spent most of our young lives knowing Walter Alston and/or Tommy Lasorda as the only Los Angeles Dodger managers (can you believe in the short 10 years since Lasorda left,we have already seen 5 dodger managers come and go). And gone are the days of the O'Malley regime (did you know that according to the LA times,the only reason FOX purchase the team from Owner O'Malley was the prevent fellow rivals ESPN from getting tv rights to Dodgers games? A FOX spokesperson even said "our goal was achieved" when ESPN lost those rights). Fortunately for those fans who have witnessed the downfall of what was once one of the most respected teams in all of sports,we now have on DVD those wonderful memories of the many championship years. Those memories of when fans came before financial numbers. Those memories of when the only babies in the stadium were those in diapers crying,not the overpaid ones in the dugout. Those memories of when fan appreciation day was felt at every game,not just the final game of the season. This DVD looks back at each of every one of those championship seasons. From Garvey to Gibson,from Alston to Lasorda,from Koufax to Valenzuela,and from Drysdale to Hershiser,this is the perfect addition to any Dodger fans' collection. PLAY BALL!!!

As a lifelong Dodger fan I was nearly moved to tears. This is the best baseball DVD I've seen so far (outside Ken Burns PBS series.)
By M J Heilbron Jr. (Long Beach, CA United States)
I tend to agree with the other reviewer here: this is criminally short.
ALL of the Dodgers World Series and League Championships covered in less than an hour?
Impossible. The early years feel slighted...Koufax and Drysdale get the same amount of time as the fabulous infield of the late 70's. Hey, I loved Garvey, Lopes, Cey and Russell...there were "my guys" when I was young...but condensing the epic efforts of those two pitchers into a few minutes is almost insulting.
This almost felt like a preview for a real documentary, coming some time in the future...and wouldn't THAT be great!
However, to be fair, what we have here is some exceptional footage and good reporting of my beloved Dodgers. The bonus footage of the Hall of Fame acceptance speeched is a classy touch, and make sure you take the time to listen to Lasorda's. It alone is worth the price of the disc.
There is something to be said by wanting more. I understand that. But you'd at least want to be somewhat satisfied...satiated.
I guess I want "Dodgerography"...and all I have now is a tease. I'm still 'way hungry.

This book does a nice job of motivating you toward your leadership aspirations, but many times I felt like I was back in Jr. High school and was listening to my teacher tell me stories of when he was growing up. With all the author's experience and interaction with such high-profile icons of this generation (and a few past), I would think he could have transferred his leadership skills in a more adult and interesting way. Overall, the book was OK.
By Chris Eisenhuth (Pittsburgh, PA)
The Business Playbook: Leadership Lessons from the World of Sports by Brandon Steiner does a tremendous job of explaining why it is important for one to set goals, as well as telling you what steps you can take to help you in achieving your goals. The book is well written, with a good amount of actual sports stories featuring some of the biggest names in sports. One downside is that many of the athletes discussed in the book play or played on teams based in New York. I would assume that is because the Steiner's business is located in New York and therefore these are the athletes he has the most contact with. The stories that he does tell about the athletes, however, are closely related to the lessons he is trying to teach in his book. Seeing the success that these athletes have had is a great motivator for the reader to try to accomplish much the same success in business instead of on a playing field.
The book is broken down into chapters, and each chapter essentially highlights a different principle that one can use on the road to success. Within each chapter every principle is broken down even further into various sub-topics. Although some of the sub-topics may not flow together as well as they could have, this style made the book very easy to read as well as understand. None of the information in the book is too complicated for the average reader to comprehend, and all of the information is explained very well.
By associating success in business with success in sports Steiner does a tremendous job in offering a book that is fun to read as well as a book that offers real lessons in business and leadership. Everyone who is at least in part a fan of sports and works in a business field should take the time to read this motivational book. By reading this book you will be able to tie aspects of sports into your business career in ways you may have never even felt were possible.

I was lucky enough to read this book after the CEO of my company asked me to purchase it and write him up a quick synopis. It was a quick but powerful read and by the end of that same weekend my senses were ablaze with newly kindled hope and inspiration!
Brandon Steiner has a great sense of motivational ability, and unlike some who give advice with an heir of condescension, he has an amazing ability to strike a chord with the reader through highly assimilable, digestible prose and imagery. He presents a theme and then illustrates it anecdotally. In his line of business one can only imagine the stories you'd have after working so closely with such colorful clientele. At the end of each chapter there is a summary and a closing paragraph or two which ties all the subject matter together.
The book is divided into key principles: "Start with a road map; Find your niche; Wake up nervous!; Know your purpose; Go the extra mile; You never know; Get focused!; Nothing changes if nothing changes; It's not what happens, it's what you do with what happens; and finally, See success as a habit." I saw so many points therein which had immediate relevance to my life and my future goals.
I am very glad to have read "The Business Playbook" and strongly advocate to anyone who reads this to pick yourself up a copy. You'll be glad you did.

The Business Playbook is hands down the best motivational book I have ever read! Anyone who reads this book will take at least one valuable lesson that they could use in both their business and personal life! Mr. Steiner has a true sports marketing mind, and in my opinion is the best in the business! Keep up the good work!!!!!!!
By steven schindler (Mamaroneck, NY USA)
I thought this book was very intuitive. It really made think about my future goals, and how I should approach them. It is a good reading for anybody who wants to be successful in what ever they want to do. Being that I am a big sports fan I really appreciated the sport figures and events that brandon used as analogies. It should be required reading for buisness students and for anybody who wants to move forward in life. Great book!

Alex Rodriguez is arguably today's most complete player and his list of accomplishments is already longer than those of many Hall of Famers. In 1996, his first full season in the Majors, he led the American League in hitting with a .358 batting average and 141 runs scored. In 1998, he became only the third player ever to hit 40 home runs and steal 40 bases in one season, and he hit at least 40 homers in six consecutive seasons, from 1998 to 2003. The 2005 season was yet another extraordinary year for A-Rod, who, as a New York Yankee, slugged 48 home runs, batted .321, made the All-Star Game for the ninth time and won his second AL MVP Award. In 2006, Rodriguez crushed 35 home runs, drove in 121 runs and made his 10th trip to the All-Star Game, and he kicked off the 2007 in monster fashion, blasting seven home runs in the first 10 games and driving in 34 runs in April alone. Rodriguez finished the year with a record 54 HR by a right hand batter as a Yankee and he also finished with 156 RBI, winning his 3rd MVP award. This mini dirt collage comes complete with a 5x7 image of the Alex Rodriguez in action with a detailed nameplate and a circle of genuine dirt from Yankee Stadium.
