Oakland A’s Vintage World Series Films

All the glory and classic moments of the Oakland A’s World Series Championships from 1972 to 1989 are digitally preserved in this one-of-a-kind DVD.

This DVD features the vintage official World Series^® films of the Oakland A’s^® World Championships from 1972, 1973, 1974, and 1989.

Catfish Hunter’s pitching led the way in 1972 against the Cincinnati Reds^® when six of the seven games were decided by one run. The 1974 Fall Classic^® versus the Los Angeles Dodgers^® featured the hitting of Joe Rudi and Bert Campaneris, and pitcher Ken Holtzman’s timely home run that sealed the A’s third title in a row and place in history.

Fifteen year later the A’s met the San Francisco Giants^® in a historic World Series. After the A’s won the first two games, Game Three was delayed ten days by an earthquake that left sixty-seven people dead and rolled destruction across sections of the Bay Area. After much consideration, the World Series continued with Oakland sweeping all four games.
