In all 3 World Series' the Twins were in, the series MVP was the winning Pitcher of game 7. 1965: Sandy Koufax 1987: Frank Viola 1991: Jack Morris All made the opposing teams offense look woeful.
Jay Nicks Viola's ERA was a little high because of the early exit in Game 4 with Lawless's home run though. Koufax also had a loss in '65 but that was largely based on unearned runs. Morris was the only one to go undefeated at 2-0, as he ended up with a no decision in Game 4 but still pitched great in that game, 6 innings, 1 run allowed before being pinch hit for and then the bullpen blew his lead. His ERA in that series was 1.17!
Add 1924, 1925, and 1933 when the Minnesota Twins were originally the original Washington Senators. The Washington Senators relocated to the Twin Cities in 1961 as the current Minnesota Twins in exchange for the expansion Washington Senators that later became the current Texas Rangers franchise.
"65 the Twins lost that world series, I remember it I was 4yrs old. SANDY KOLFAX (Los Angeles Dodger pitcher) game 7 the Twins couldn't buy a run. At 26yrs old my heart finally healed in 1987 for my beloved Twins to finally become Champions. I know that Harmon, Tony Bobbie, Cesar and Zollio were smiling as all the rest of the "65 Twins.I know I was and was thinking of them!
I can't be the only one who finds Al Michaels' "Forget the decibel meter, get the Richter scale!" comment at the 1:05 mark to be a Funny Aneurysm Moment considering that two years later in San Francisco, he was at the heart and center of the earthquake prior to the start of a World Series game.
😂 never thought of that, but that is quite classic. I also love how those kids-at-heart announcers went to the trouble of measuring the decibels of planes taking off at the Minneapolis/St. Paul airport when they returned to MN before Game 6, and compared it to the noise in the Dome, which Michaels labeled as “more than a 727.” (Which, if you know about airplanes, that’s not an accidental or generic categorization synonymous with merely any airplane. The 727 was well known to be the loudest plane there was in terms of engine noise on takeoff!)
You aren't kidding! I was at Game 6, and after Kent's grand slam, I remember sitting down and covering my ears! I've never seen a crowd in Minnesota (or anywhere else for that matter) like that since. It really was intense
Yeah it’s kind of odd. These umpires all had excellent reputations and I believe there were no missed calls at all the first six games, at least no glaring ones-and then in Game 7 there were FOUR. Three by Lee Weyer at 1st base and one by Dave Phillips at the plate. (Again odd in that these two were considered among the best umpires in their respective leagues-highly respected with sterling reputations.) But at least two of them likely made no difference in the score and the other two cancelled each other out. The missed “out” call on Baylor at the plate cost the Twins a run which they were then “gifted” back on the Gagne play when he was called “safe” and then scored the tying run on Puckett’s double.
The reasons the Twins won this series 1. Home field 2. They piped in crowd noise to that toilet called the Metrodome 3. Pendleton and Clark were hurt for St. Louis
Injuries are a part of the game Twins destroyed best team in baseball Detroit including 2 in Detroit and all domed stadiums do that. Or your a sore loser! Busch Stadium Astro turf the same?
Phillip Weber they didn't have to pipe in any noise, the fans did it all themselves and in a dome the noise has no place to go. Now, what was admitted to later was that a maintenance man at the dome did acknowledge that he (supposedly acting on his own with no instruction from the team) reversed the direction of the blowing fans when the Twins batted, hoping it would help balls carry farther that they hit. Although that being said, three of the four games at the dome were not close, the one that was had no home runs, and the homers they hit in the other games were all pretty convincing shots that likely would have gone out regardless of blowing fans in any direction.
Al Michaels got it all wrong. The Minnesota Twins won the World Series for the second time in their history since 1924 when they were the original Washington Senators. The original Washington Senators relocated to the Twin Cities in 1961 as the Minnesota Twins in exchange for the expansion Washington Senators which they later became the current Texas Rangers franchise. D.C. would not another Big League baseball team until the relocation of the Montreal Expos, becoming the current Washington Nationals franchise, and won the 2019 World Series.
R.I.p Kirby Puckett
RIP Chuck Berry 1926 - 2017. You're a GREAT St. Louis Cardinals' fan!!!
Disco Weasel1977 Yes he was!!!!
I wonder what was the song that he was singing during the Cardinals' World Series rally before Game 3 in St. Louis.
Disco Weasel1977 Iam not sure!!
I liked when Fredbird, the Cardinals’ mascot danced the way Chuck Berry danced with his guitar.
Disco Weasel1977 Agreed on that!!!

@@ADEAL918 All true statements. But I particularly meant they made the opposing offense look woeful in game 7.

PLAESE get the audio and video in sync!!!
Glad this is on TH-cam.
The first year with the rebrand. Hopefully the 2023 rebrand will do us wonders next year🍀🔮
don't bet on it.
Kirby Puckett ✌✌✌✌

Greatest bat flip in history in this series. Tom Lawless in Game 5 I believe.
The Lawless bat flip was game 4!
"Forget the decibel meter, get the Richter scale!'
The Twins' old stadium the Metrodome would measure a perfect 10 on the Richter scale.
LOL!!! love that line by Al Michaels.
Jay Nicks and also what he said right after the Twins won Game 7--"now we know what sound FEELS like!"
1987 first time twins world champions.
Not the first ,
1925
I think in 1925 it was the MN Millers
I know the Senators won the 1924 world series - the Mpls Millers were minor league but won almost a dozen league titles. I could be mistaken though.

To date, game 6 was the last World Series contest to be played in the daytime.
I really like the alternate Network versions of the World Series Highlights. Wonder how many were made? 1984 to 1989???
I had an 18 yr old cat named Franky.
I have a 14 yr old cat named Kirby.
I still wave my Homer hanky!
I named my cat Tapani in 1992
I was there for all of the home games and have the hearing loss to prove it.
You aren't kidding! I was at Game 6, and after Kent's grand slam, I remember sitting down and covering my ears! I've never seen a crowd in Minnesota (or anywhere else for that matter) like that since. It really was intense
Is that Right?
Frank Viola: Another great that was destroyed by the Mets later in his career.
Just shut up and enjoy the amazing pitching he did in the 87 WS!
4 in the dome is better than 3 in the Busch.
Great World Series, awesome to see our hometown boy Jeff Reardon nail down the save in game 7
1991 was a better World Series the best of all time
Reardon was the closer king in 1987 awesome is right cool for you to be able to see him get it done.
Go Twins!
No team in MLB history was this unbeatable at home, not even the Yankees.
my dreams brought me here
Does anyone know the name of the song at 25:25
11:49 Bloomington Jefferson Highschool marching band.
0:01 - 1:31 "The preceding message was furnished by Major League Baseball."

+Luigi Aguilera you do that.
ericradford2142 Tell us about it!!!
Can you fix it?
Has to be an abc production that beat they play in between each game is the same as in abc great tv news stories "terrorism the new world war"
Boy the umpires were bad in this series.

Did I miss the Puckett catch in game 6?????! Did they actually not show it!!!!
That was 1991
That's was the 91 world series against the braves
Lawless flips the bat. Nobody gets butthurt because they're professionals, unlike the Texas Rangers.
Go away
go cardnals hey can't win them all
The Yankees tried to win them all they have 27 of them. No other team comes close.
The reasons the Twins won this series
1. Home field
2. They piped in crowd noise to that toilet called the Metrodome
3. Pendleton and Clark were hurt for St. Louis
They did it again in the 1991 World Series against the Atlanta Braves.
Injuries are a part of the game Twins destroyed best team in baseball Detroit including 2 in Detroit and all domed stadiums do that. Or your a sore loser! Busch Stadium Astro turf the same?
And I suspect if your aunt had balls she would be your uncle with that third grade logic .
4 in the dome beats 3 in the Busch huh?
