2008 World Series: Philadelphia Phillies vs. Tampa Bay Rays

 (TV) (2008-2010)

2008 World Series: Philadelphia Phillies vs. Tampa Bay Rays Blu-ray offers solid video and great audio in this excellent Blu-ray release

The drama and unforgettable images of baseball are the World Series moments etched in our minds and celebrated from generation to generation. These dynamic events are preserved and commemorated in MLB's annual World Series films.

2008 World Series: Philadelphia Phillies vs. Tampa Bay Rays Blu-ray, Video Quality

  3.5 of 5

Presented in an aspect ratio of 1.78:1, encoded with MPEG-4 AVC, and granted a 1080i transfer 2008 World Series: Philadelphia Phillies vs. Tampa Bay Rays arrives on Blu-ray courtesy of Shout Factory.

This is a very, very interesting disc with plenty of footage that I am absolutely positive will thrill baseball fans from the City of Brotherly Love (I am sure there will be quite a few Rays fans that would want to pick this disc as well). As expected, the content is quite diverse – there is footage from the World Series games as well as pre-season and post-season original content. The portions of the footage that was shot with HD cameras look very good – colors are lush and vibrant, contrast impeccable, and detail absolutely flawless. It really feels as if you are watching the "live" games all over again. Furthermore, the World Series footage is also crystal clear without even a trace of dirt of damage. The "extra" footage Shout Factory have supplied, however, varies a bit (there is a great deal standard-def material for example). Some of the interviews for example do not exactly match the impressive footage from the World Series, but the overall video quality is still quite high (I must note that the most obvious discrepancies are between the HD-shot material and the footage done prior and after the World Series). This being said, I really do not have any major reservations with the manner in which this film is put together. Most everything looks healthy to my eyes and I was definitely pleased with the nice presentation courtesy of Shout Factory. (Note: This Blu-ray disc is actually Region-A "locked". Therefore, you will not be able to playback it on native Region-B hardware).


2008 World Series: Philadelphia Phillies vs. Tampa Bay Rays Blu-ray, Audio Quality

  4.0 of 5

Unlike what the preliminary press release for 2008 World Series: Philadelphia Phillies vs. Tampa Bay Rays indicates - availability of Dolby True HD tracks - what the Blu-ray disc contains is: English PCM 2.0 and English: PCM 5.1 tracks. This being said, the audio treatment is rather similar to the video treatment I addressed above. There are large portions of the film where the PCM 5.1 reveals plenty of activity in the rear channels (this isn't an aggressive film mix), and then there is plenty of footage where most everything appears split between the two main channels. Furthermore, there are plenty of interviews, scattered comments, and crowd noise that somewhat affect the sense of balance you would get from an actual motion picture audio mix. The atmosphere from the ballparks, however, is definitely captured quite well and you could literally feel the excitement amongst the fans. Finally, I did not detect any disturbing pops, cracks, or hissings to report here.
