1991年世界大賽

1991年世界大賽是美國職棒大聯盟（MLB）1991年球季的總冠軍賽，也是第88屆世界大賽。本屆大賽採七戰四勝制，由美聯冠軍明尼蘇達雙城隊（英语：1991 Minnesota Twins season）（95勝67敗）對上國聯冠軍亞特蘭大勇士隊（英语：1991 Atlanta Braves season）（94勝68敗）。雙城隊最終以四勝三敗的戰績奪得本屆大賽冠軍。2003年，ESPN在「世界大賽100週年（World Series 100th Anniversary）」倒數活動中將其選為「有史以來最偉大的比賽（Greatest of All Time）」，其中五場一分差決勝負、四場勝負由最終打數決定以及三場打到延長賽。 除了其許多場次的結局都有著懸念之外，本屆世界大賽還有其他亮點：像是關鍵的第七戰正規九局打完仍然0比0平手，要進入延長局數；最終雙城隊在10局延長賽中以1：0獲勝，他們先發投手傑克·莫里斯也拿到完投勝。最後莫里斯獲選為世界大賽最有價值球員獎。 本屆大賽一共打了69局，追平七戰四勝制世界大賽史上最長局數的紀錄，前一次是1924年（更早前的世界大賽採用的是九戰五勝制或是有平局的場次，如算入這些年份的世界大賽，1912年的75局是史上最長的一次）。 1991年世界大賽著名的幾場艱苦的比賽，包含五場一分差決勝負及三場延長賽，其中又以第三場的12局馬拉松最為艱辛，雙城總教練湯姆·凱利（英语：Tom Kelly (baseball)）還用完了所有的打者。 美聯明尼蘇達雙城隊（英语：1991 Minnesota Twins season）四勝三敗擊敗國聯冠軍亞特蘭大勇士隊（英语：1991 Atlanta Braves season） 1991年世界大賽（4勝3敗）：明尼蘇達雙城隊（英语：1991 Minnesota Twins season）（美聯）擊敗亞特蘭大勇士隊（英语：1991 Atlanta Braves season）（國聯）奪冠 Murphy, Brian. Twins' `Overachiever' Kirby Puckett Gets Call to Glory. Baseball Digest. April 2001. It was his play in Game 6 of the '91 Series against Atlanta that cemented his legacy in Twin Cities sports history. After robbing the Braves' Ron Gant of a home run in the field, Puckett hit an 11th-inning homer off Charlie Leibrandt to force a seventh game that the Twins eventually won in what some baseball historians consider the greatest World Series ever.  Hurst, Matt.

The 1991 World Series is easily the best World Series ever played, with three games being won in the final at-bat and four coming down to the final pitch. Kirby Puckett's heroics in Game 6 allowed the Twins to stay alive and eventually win Game 7.  Yellon, Al. The Top 10 World Series Games, Including (Of Course) 2011 Game 6.

In addition to Puckett's extra-inning heroics, the Twins' bullpen held the Braves scoreless for the last four innings of the game, allowing just three singles, two of which were erased by double plays.  Yellon, Al.

No. 6: 1991 World Series, Game 7: The Senators franchise moved to Minnesota in 1961; 30 years later, the team played two of the most excruciatingly exciting World Series games on consecutive nights. It's the only Series I'm honoring here with a pair of games. This one featured a 10-inning shutout thrown by Minnesota's Jack Morris while the Twins were leaving 12 men on base, finally scoring the game-winner on Gene Larkin's bases-loaded single with one out in the bottom of the 10th.  The World Series 100th Anniversary – #1 1991 Minnesota Twins 4, Atlanta Braves 3.
