Red Sox Memories will chronicle the greatest moments in Boston's 107 year history and include players such as Cy Young, Ted Williams, Carlton Fisk, Pedro Martinez and David Ortiz

Our Take:

Red Sox Memories is a great companion piece for the World Series 2007 Boston Red Sox vs. Colorado Rockies DVD that came out last year. Red Sox Memories goes over the team’s rich history spanning over one hundred years, The Sox’s close relationship with Boston, and the undying devotion of loyal fans that make the Red Sox one of the most inspiring teams in Major League Baseball. Red Sox Memories is similar to other sports DVDs released by Shout! Factory in that it’s done in a feature documentary style, and mixes together old and new footage. It’s a little distracting when they go from HD footage to analog, but overall it looks great.

The DVD comes with a nice collection of extra features that add to the value of the disc for Sox fans.

* Featurettes (60 minutes) – You can choose to “play all” or watch each individually; these featurettes include bonus footage featuring the following:

- Carl Yastrzemski National Baseball Hall of Fame Speech Highlights.

- Pedro Martinez 1999 MLB All-Star Game Performance.

- Ted Williams MLB All-Century Team Vignette (1999).

- Ted Williams Baseball Feature (July 17, 1988).

- Dick Radatz Feature (July 30, 1990).

Red Sox Memories makes for a very entertaining watch, and whether you’ve been lifelong member of Red Sox nation or a recent convert, this is a must watch!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
