- A series of sports documentaries produced by George A. Romero and Richard P. Rubinstein during the mid 1970's.
- Back when baseball was America's favorite pastime, back when baseball players were heroes, there was no bigger hero than Pittsburgh Pirate Willie Stargell. Exclusively available here, this entertaining and revealing documentary, the stars come out to tell why they consider "Pops" Stargell one of the greats... not only on the field but in his community as well. Hear what Hank Aaron, Casey Stengel, Mickey Mantle, Bill Virdon, Danny Murtaugh, Leo Durocher, and even Muhammad Ali have to say about their friend Willie Stargell. And from Hollywood; Phyllis Diller, Marty Allen, Frank Gorshin, Vin Scully, and Bing Crosby show up to praise and to rib the Pirate left fielder. Illustrated with action-packed footage highlighting his career from rookie draft pick to World Series MVP, Stargell speaks out about lifting himself up from poverty with his baseball talents; how he survived life in the minor leagues; how he spends time off the field working with disadvantaged youth. Willie talks about his home run hitting technique with legendary Pirates broadcaster Bob Prince. Then we see Stargell helping the 1971 Pirates win the Seventh Game of the World Series against the Baltimore Orioles. Afterwards we join him and his teammates, including his close friend Roberto Clemente, in the wild post game party. It's an uplifting celebration of baseball the way it used to be played, with all-time great Willie Stargell.
- Before "Nature Boy Rick Flair" and "Stone Cold Steve Austin," before Hulk Hogan and the "Executioner," one man dominated championship wrestling like no other. That man is the legendary Bruno Sammartino. From his home in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Bruno speaks passionately about the great skill and dedication needed to be a professional wrestler. He shocks us with the inside scoop on wrestling's bad boys and reveals what he thinks about the sport today. Then in an unguarded moment, Bruno exposes the truth about his profession. Just how much of a "choreographed show" is professional wrestling? Hear the answer from Bruno himself. Clips from some of Bruno's most brutal battles are all here in this thundering video spectacular. See Bruno take on wrestling legends like Gorilla Monsoon, Killer Kowalski, Haystack Calhoun, and all the rest of those Madison Square Garden headliners in non-stop mayhem that'll make your head spin. Bruno's story is also one of a supportive and loving family and of his mother's incredible fight to save her children from the Nazis during the German invasion of Italy. Featuring interviews with the Sammartino clan and with the stars and promoters from inside the wrestling world, this video brings Bruno's astonishing "rags to riches" saga to life.
