#2016 WORLD SERIES GAME 7 DVD MOVIE#

I was swept up in the drama of moments that for the most part, I was too nervous to enjoy as I was watching it live.

It all sounds pretty manipulative and I guess it is. In the background of these slow-motion highlights is emotional music, designed to heighten the drama of every moment. If you’ve seen one of these World Series films before, they contain a lot of video, mostly in slow motion, of the highlights of each game with a famous celebrity fan reading the narration when necessary. Indians disappointments are included too, such as Edgar Renteria’s World Series-winning hit in 1997. He is simply a part of a montage of Cubs disappointments along with the black cat with Ron Santo and the ball through Leon Durham’s legs. Bartman, and the media obsession with him I know is a sore point around here, is never mentioned by name. (The film thankfully goes to lengths to avoid the word “curse” in favor of “time” and “waiting.”) The video highlights the history of these two teams, but it wisely allows the pictures to do the talking. The film sets the scene with two “cursed” clubs and their fans. In the very opening, narrator Vince Vaughn reads “This is the story of two cities in the middle of America who have been talking about time for a long time.” And that what holds the story together: two franchises take the field and one that will have to wait no longer.

The official video is a 97-minute movie that tells the story of how the Cubs finally won a title after 108 years. (Not included in the film, by the way.) Fortunately, what this video is a whole lot better than that and worth watching several times. Most of you would watch it if it were shot on a phone camera and narrated by Bill Murray doing his Daffy Duck impersonation. Shout Factory was kind enough to provide us with review copies of the releases, and having watched it, I’m pretty sure that I’m not going to have to tell you to go out and purchase a copy, but I will anyway. Major League Baseball releases one of these official videos for every World Series, and I suspect this one will break all sales records.

Even the things that I thought might bother me didn’t, because I was carried along by the story of a team that broke a 108-year drought. The video, which goes on sale everywhere today, is pretty darn close to perfect however. Theo Epstein says that near the end of the Official 2016 World Series Champions video.
