In the Official 2011 World Series Film, from A+E Networks Home Entertainment/MLB Productions, St. Louis native and narrator Jon Hamm (Mad Men) delivers the redoubtable Redbirds championship run, from first pitch to last in a pulse-pounding documentary format. Providing comprehensive highlights, exclusive access and interviews, plus breath-taking footage and sounds captured by MLB cameras and microphones throughout the series, this DVD is a perfect way to relive the epic battle against the Texas Rangers.
The Official 2011 World Series Film will be released as a 2-disc set, featuring an exclusive bonus disc containing the complete NLDS Game 5 vs. the Phillies, a taut 1-0 pitcher’s duel which propelled the Cardinals to the NLCS and, ultimately, the World Series. Additional extras include behind-the-scenes interviews and bonus programming.
Just in time for the holidays, the Official 2011 World Series Film 2-Disc DVD will be released on November 22 and will also be available in a single Blu-ray disc on December 6. Both can now be pre-ordered at multiple sites, including worldseries.com.
