EMK19 Verified Member Posted August 15, 2015 Posted August 15, 2015 Hey all, I'm sure some of you old die-hard Jays fans have a few of these in collection. Been a Jays fan since the late nineties, though more seriously starting in 1991 or so. I definitely feel fortunate to have experienced those glory days, although I was only a 9-year old kid back then. Anyways, thus far in my collection I have (I've converted all of these onto DVD, although the quality is crap): 1989 Season: Sky High 1990 Season: Tradition of Excellece 1991 Season: 4 Million Memories 1992 Season: Oh! Canada 1993 Season: Back-2-Back Are there any that I am missing previous to 89 season at all? (I couldn't imagine there were any after '93...) Loved these season review tapes, they should reissue these as DVDs like the World Series Videos IMO... Hoping that if the 2015 Jays make the playoffs they can make a DVD similar to it.

Madkenstalin Verified Member Posted August 16, 2015 Posted August 16, 2015 I would love the Sky High one. I used to watch it all the time when I used to come over in the early 90s. I borrowed my friends to copy it to tape in UK and it wouldn't work I still remember the old dude singing, Junior Felix's inside the park grand slam at Fenway, Sosa back, looking up, goodbye home run. It's over 20 years since i've seen it. I don't suppose you have an online copy of any of them at all? Or is that frowned upon? I did look for an old copy, but the price put me off http://www.amazon.com/HIGH-STORY-TORONTO-BLUE-JAYS/dp/B004QRG7Y6

People only ever remember the comeback to win the division after a slow April/May and that epic Fenway comeback but the season was so much more than that. Moseby's clutch hit in September, Mookie Wilson acquisition and the fan love affair, Stieb near no hitter, last game at the Ex/first game in Skydome, etc. It's a shame I didn't experience it much first hand back then since I was way too young at the time. The 1991 4 Million Memories is also another one of my favs, Carter/Alomar/White's first year, which is the year that got me seriously into the Blue Jays. I ripped all the tapes onto a DVD (since it's from a VHS the quality is horrendous, but at least it'll last longer on a DVD), but haven't put them on Youtube or anything due to copyright concerns... It's been out of production for over 20 years though, does that free it from copyright issues possibly? It's not as if the Jays are re-issuing those either (and I have no idea why, they'd sell well I'd think). I do know the 1993 Back 2 Back season review is on Youtube somewhere though.
Madkenstalin Verified Member Posted August 16, 2015 Posted August 16, 2015 I was watching the Dave Stieb perfect game effort in my friend's house in Kitchener. I was 13. Roberto Kelly broke it up. It's weird I can remember all this from 20+ years ago but can hardly remember a thing about the footy match I went to yesterday No idea about the copyright. There are bits of Sky High on youtube, but it's not worth you risking getting banned over. I also remember some rather top heavy lady running onto the field to hug Duane Ward I think that was 89 or 90 too
EMK19 Verified Member Posted September 27, 2015 Author Posted September 27, 2015 Dear Toronto Blue Jays media people, please, PLEASE make a season review DVD for the 2015 season!!! The season is already such a success story that it's begging for one, and I'm 100% sure it would fly off the shelves! It may just become my favourite in my entire collection if you do.

Someone will make one. This run has the city in a buzz and that is probably an understatement. I'm sure something will be released.
