I echo the recommendations of 1975 and 2001 too (though as a Yankee fan, I just can't bring myself to watch the 2001 WS DVD). 1991 might have been the best WS of all time and it’s really underrated, so watch that.

The World Series is often dramatic, often epic, often almost magical - but even though the Red Sox lost to the Reds (a personal downer) - this one just seems to be the one that jumps out at me as "special among specials". 2004 lacked drama (the ALCS in 2003/2004...now there you had drama), or I'd go for that simply because it's the year the Sox won. I'd say the 2001 World Series comes a close second for transcending even the normal epicness of Word Seriesdom. I’d go with 1975.

But it's the only World Series my mom, who grew up as a huge baseball fan in St. Louis, ever got to go to. She went on her 15th birthday.

I would probably go for any of the Brooklyn Yankees series. Iif it were my fandom at helm, I would watch the brooming of the Astros by the White Sox since I was in the hospital and I missed it. This is a lovely problem to have by the way. Cecilia, what a challenge. I would probably go for any of the Brooklyn Yankees series.
