Minnesota Twins World Series Video, DVD

Was it really the greatest Fall Classic ever? Five games were decided by one run. Four of the games were won on the very last plate appearance. Three games went extra innings. Two managers played a seven-game chess match. One run was scored in the Game 7, 10-inning masterpiece. Add in Kirby Puckett's Game 6 for the ages, a power-hitting third base tandem, Kent Hrbek providing a lift at first, a rookie rising above the tension, veteran power, clutch pitching led by the wizened Jack Morris, plus a relentless and dynamic Atlanta Braves team--and yes, it was the Greatest World Series ever played. This seven-DVD collection contains every pitch, hit, sterling defensive play, and ear-popping Metrodome memory along with each glorious Minnesota Twins 1991 World Series championship moment. A special DVD audio feature allows fans to watch the World Series television broadcast and listen to the Twins Radio Network announcers!

Two Classic World Films on one DVD: 1987 and 1991. These documentary style Official Films provide highlights and interviews. 1987 The Twins fans and the Metrodome lifted the home team to four noise wins and title. 1991 One of the greatest Fall Classics of all time as the jack Morris and the Twins win a 10-inning, 1-0, Game 7 to secure the Championship.

Vintage World Series Films: Minnesota Twins collects the two hour-long films summarizing the highlights of the 1987 and 1991 World Series. But both would be good candidates for a Complete Collector's Edition, especially the 1991 series that is still considered by many as the greatest ever played. The core of both teams was the same: manager Tom Kelly; hitters Kirby Puckett and Kent Hrbek; and pitchers Frank Viola and Jack Morris, supplemented by the likes of Gary Gaetti, Jeff Reardon, Scott Erickson, and Chuck Knoblauch--and of course the Homer Hanky-wielding fans turning the Metrodome into a house of horrors for opposing teams. After beating the St. Louis Cardinals in 1987, the Twins faced the Atlanta Braves in 1991. They came from behind to win, propelled by Puckett's huge bat and glove in game 6, followed by Morris's 10-inning complete-game shutout in game 7. Both individual performances were among the greatest in World Series history, and whenever a case is made for Morris's entering the Hall of Fame, his 1991 game 7 is always considered Exhibit A. --David Horiuchi

Every game of this Twin Cities tale every pitch every rafter-rocking home run and thunderous roar of the Metrodome faithful is digitally preserved in this one-of-a-kind collectible.
