Rise of the Big Red Machine on DVD?

by realcinch on Feb 18, 2005 4:22 PM EST

There has been talk of releasing a DVD on this dynasty. I say let the fans decide.

The '75 series against Boston was one of the top five of all-time. Yet, the Big Red Machine should be remembered for more than just one blip on baseball's timeline. Should an entire DVD set be dedicated to this one series while other great playoff games from this dynasty go ignored? Or, should a selection of Cincinnati's greatest playoff games from that era encompass the release? Each title would have its share of standard series highlights, commentary, and never-before-seen footage, so it all comes down to the games.

Big Red Machine Dynasty

I don't know how it would effect the economics, but what I would like to see with this type of DVD is alternate audio tracks, with commentary from Marty, Sparky, Bob Howsam and the players. Director's commentary and extras are a important sales feature for movies, and it would be great if a BRM DVD series had some extras too. Would love to see one for the 1990 post season too.

Big Red Machine

I want it all!!!
The 7 game Series vs Oakland was pretty awesome filled with great players on both sides. Hopefully this project will get done and done properly so we all can enjoy it.
