My family used to have one of those miniature DVD players hanging over the back seat of our Honda Odyssey. It was advanced technology — probably a 7-inch screen. So before we went on road trips when I was growing up, I always sorted through our movie cabinet and selected a few to bring along.
The 2006 World Series Film was in the mix every single time.
So I understand there’s a unique excitement about the goofy tradition of American sports leagues releasing an official film commemorating the championship-winning team after every season. Those documentaries are delightful for harnessing nostalgia, and they feature boatloads of exclusive interviews and behind-the-scenes footage.
