When
It Was a Game - Triple Play Collection DVD
DVD from Warner Home Video
This HBO documentary is based on a highly original idea:
tell the story of baseball from the Great Depression era through the late
1950s using footage from home-movie cameras shot by fans and players. The
result is a marvelous look at baseball in America as seen from the ground--the
culture of stadiums, the ritual of afternoon games, the spiritually sustaining
rivalries. Among the truly unexpected sights is color footage of the 1938
World Series, not only from inside the stadium walls but from the street
as traffic cops, crowds, and vehicles amassed. It also covers World War
II's impact on the game, and, of course, the heroes, often caught in relaxed,
unselfconscious moments.
Arguably more defined and even more lyrical than its predecessor,
When It Was a Game 2 moves from a general celebration of baseball culture
in America to a specific focus on various facets of the game's history,
including the special relationship between game announcers and fans and
the farm-team system during the 1930s, '40s, and '50s. Brooklyn's assimilation
of the Dodgers into their community identity is covered quite winningly
as is the heartbreak of the team's desertion to California. Last, the film
takes us on a tour of some of the game's legends and presents a touching
tribute to the extraordinary Babe Ruth. --Tom Keogh
When It Was a Game 3 focuses on the 1960s, a time of change
for all of America. Through sharp, incredibly clear color footage of players
and fans, the film shows how Major League Baseball slowly but surely evolved
from pure sport to moneymaking entertainment. Covering the mighty Yankees,
the western expansion of both leagues, the increasing inclusion of black
players, and the rise of free agency and increased salaries, the film shows
the growth of baseball from adolescence to adulthood. --Rob Lightner
