Despite the loss and the disappointment at the time, this series, that team, and that year were all very special. I can't watch the 96 or 99 defeats, but other than 95 this series never gets old.
It was the most exciting sporting event I've ever attended and I've been to them all around the world! I was there in '95 when they won the WS at the old Fulton County Stadium. It was a lot more satisfying. Everyone loves a winner. It really is that simple!
@cnmatl7 I was there too at the old field, i was 7 years old.. best moment of my life at any sporting event. I'm so proud to be from a city where this baseball team is respected all around. Now the old field is part of the parking lot for Turner Field :)
How cool would it have been to be in the Metrodome for this game? I am not a fan of either team but can from a baseball fan's POV, this was probably one the greatest games ever played.
The 1991 World Series was the greatest World Series ever played. If there was ever a series in which it was unfortunate there had to be a loser, this one was it.
@Cinerary Actually, if it had been the Yankees or the A's it would have blown. But given that the Twins were also a "worst-to-first" small market team and the series itself was so incredible, and with Kirby and the rest of a really great Twins team (even Hrbek, ha ha), I honestly couldn't have picked a better team to lose to. God, that was a great year.
God I miss that team.

Good stuff! I bet that was real exciting. Up until the end anyway. As a fellow braves fan, I feel your pain!

Poor Atlanta. As a Twins fan, I love this series but it must have been heartbreaking for a Braves fan.
