LA%20Dodgers%201988%20WS%20DVD-NS.jpg
Today's the day to harken back to a date far, far back in baseball history -- 1988, and the Dodgers' last World Series victory.

Break out those "Sgt. Pepper" lyrics again.

Today's the day, because Major League Baseball says so. Because today's the date you can pre-order the first-of-its kind Dodgers' 1988 World Series Collectors Edition seven DVD boxed set.

It will be shipped starting March 25 for $79.95 (suggested retail price).

If you've seen these with other World Series boxed sets, it's pretty darn cool. There's al five complete, uncut games from the NBC telecast, plus the NLCS Games 4 and 7 against the Mets.

In all, 1,070 minutes, plus bonus footage.

The highlights:
==There's three calls of Kirk Gibson's Game 1 home run -- from Vin Scully's network TV description, Jack Buck's call on the national radio, and Don Drysdale's version on the Dodger radio network.
==And a look back at Orel Hershiser's 59 consecutive scoreless innings streak.
==The 1988 World Series Trophy and MVP Award presentation, and '88 ring ceremony.
==Interviews with Tommy Lasorda, Kirk Gibson, Dennis Eckersley, Tony LaRussa and Sparky Anderson
