A five-DVD, 12-hour set covering 58 years, this is a sweeping time capsule of the history of the Bronx Bombers and of baseball itself - it documents the New York Yankees' 17 World Series titles between 1943 and 2000, chronicling Yankee greats including Joe DiMaggio, Yogi Berra, Mickey Mantle, Reggie Jackson, and Derek Jeter.

The almost mythic career of Yankee slugger Mickey Mantle is the subject of this acclaimed HBO Sports documentary special. Over 18 seasons with the Bronx Bombers, despite constant nagging injuries, Mantle managed to hit 536 home runs, twice hitting more than 50 in a season. He finished ten seasons with a batting average of .300 or more and suited up for seven World Series. To this day, ?The Mick? remains the greatest switch-hitter in baseball history; however, behind his country charm and good looks there was his wayward lifestyle that harmed his marriage, his relationship with his four sons and ultimately his health.
