tonyho7476 Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 Here is what I sent to Brooks...I'll post his reponse... Hi Brooks...another annoying question. I know that MLB is selling a WS DVD. And I can't wait for that. But what about a DVD celebrating the whole year? I would love to be able to relive opening day, the AJ homerun game against the Dodgers, the Aaron Rowand defensive effort against the Yankees...and the DVD bonus stuff could be limitless...the pregame intros...the Go-Go White Sox song with the bouncing ball video...pictures of celebrations. I want to celebrate this whole season...and everything that encompassed it. I realize you may not be involved with something like this, but I hope we see it. Love the Sox, Tony from Stickney Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irishsox1 Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 I wanted to send something to Brooks about this same topic. A single season DVD recap would be great as would a single disc World Series DVD. However, I was more interested in getting something similar to the 12 disc deluxe box set that the Boston Red Sox got last year. All 7 games of the ALCS and all 4 games of the WS. Also, all sorts of other interesting stuff. Link to Amazon for Red Sox DVD Or the Yankees DVD Box set Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 On a side note, thanks for posting that Tony. It helps out Brooks and his staff if we can eliminate duplicate questions and requests for the PR staff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LVSoxFan Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 Hey I asked this a while ago but can you please also mention to him to include the intro video from each of this year's home games? That was a favorite, and I'm guessing it's going to change before next season--it has to. It would be a nice memento to open the DVD!

Due to the fact that much material involved in the opening montage is copyrighted and cannot be redistributed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but MLB owns that, right?...are you saying that MLB won't give their 'expressed written consent' to put that on the DVD? They will. After seeing what the Red Sox and Yankees put out...this DVD could be f***ing awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The White Sox would have to pay royalties for everytime that montage is distributed, to each artist whose song is used in it. From what has been stated already it is not cost effective.

AddisonStSox Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 Please, Tony, keep us abreast of this situation. I'm sure I'm not the only one that has considered sending Brooks an email on the exact same topic. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't, if I were them, though. It's insanely expensive, and they're not a radio station. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aboz56 Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 The demand for a Red Sawx DVD set with all of the games is a lot higher than a DVD set with all of the Sox playoff games. Nothing against the White Sox fan base, myself included, I just don't see a set like that coming out for us. The Red Sawx had a lot larger national following and it was covered a lot heavier than our run. Just my two cents, but I don't see a chance for any official release of a DVD set of all of our playoff games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balance Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 I have no idea how this would work with the rights involved, but on the DVD set, I would love to be able to choose the soundtrack for the play-by-play. I had to listen to Buck and McCarver live; it would be great to have Rooney and Farmer calling the game on the DVDs. You could switch between soundtracks in the DVD options.... Just my two cents....

It didnt stop the Sox from broadcasting the intro (had both Pirates and Thunderstruck) on every major network during the rally after the parade.

But, I believe if they are going to put out Season 1 of Good Times, then why can't they put the White Sox on DVD? There is more White Sox fans than Good Times fans. I couldn't say that with confidence before the rally, but now I'm 100% sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have just as much potential for this. I hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If shows like these can have pricey, complete DVD season box sets: Gilmore Girls Veronica Mars Entourage Laguna Beach Full House One Tree Hill Drawn Together Viva La Bam America's Funniest Home Videos Las Vegas I'm sure a nice Sox box set could turn a profit too.
