Jack Morris pitched a ten inning complete game shutout in a series clinching game. A Hall of Fame performance by any pitcher to ever play professional baseball.

[@michaelleroy9281]

Kelly wanted to take him out of the game in the 10th Morris was having none of that

[@jarnold3415]

Looked like he was going out for the 11th

[@crowtservo]

Pirates manager Derrek Shelton would have pulled him in the 5th inning.

[@colleenross8752]

Christy Mathewson did that 3 times in the 1905 Series

[@greatlakes4753]

​@@crowtservo Wouldn't have been able to because the minute he started showed promise of being an ace he'd be traded.

[@scottyb83]

The greatest pitching performance in World Series history! And I was lucky enough to have attended it. A few years ago, like 2017, Jack Morris sat next to me at the bar of The Original Pancake House in Roseville. We talked about baseball, St Paul since we both attended schools there and, of course, pancakes. Though I believe he had a Belgian waffle.

[@twinsproftw7404]

One of the best World Series ever

[@Weebs82589]

I couldn’t agree more!

watched it with my dad.

[@michaelleroy9281]

It is the best World Series ever the only won that comes close is 2001 Yankees Diamondbacks

[@LeoWhalen1933]

Yes it is. 2001 was great as well. 1992 was good but didn't go 7. 1986 games 6 and 7 we're amazing.

[@shermanngjazz]

@@LeoWhalen1933 2002 was underrated. 1993 was probably the best 6-game series.

[@raddmann336]

I’ve been watching WS since 1966 and this was the greatest game I saw in a WS.

[@thomasb1889]

Growing up and still living in Minnesota I found the 1987 series better in many ways because it was the first. However, seven one run games and extra innings in the 7th game is also something else.

[@billyrichards8834]

5 of the 7 games went into EXTRA innings, and gane 7 went into the 10th--SCORELESS! One of the GREATEST serie's EVER!

[@claytoncruz1882]

Hopefully MLB will continue to upload historic matches like this till the season start again.

[@patrickshepherd8527]

I was 5 when this happened. It's my first full sports related memory. My grandparents let me stay up late, as they realized at some point early on, something special was occurring. In the world of Bill Simmons, Jack Morris on this night is THE MAN you'd choose to pitch against the alien invaders

[@paulvece3714]

I was only 10 years old when this happened and it's still, by far, the best baseball game I've ever watched.

[@vibeofthee80s_]

same, I was just weeks away from my 10th b-day when I watched this game! A memorable time for me

[@SwitcherooU]

I was 10 as well. My dad had fallen asleep in the living room somewhere around the 8th inning, and I moved to the kitchen TV so I could have a bowl of cereal and watch. Just after Larkin lifted that high fly into left to win it, I walked back into the living room, gave my dad a poke, and said “Hey dad, the Twins just won the World Series.” He said “Hey look at that,” gave me a big smile and a hair tousle, and went back to sleep. I went back into the kitchen to finish my cereal. Cinnamon Toast Crunch never tasted so sweet.

[@kootybear]

Man, it doesnt get less all these years later. It still rocks. I fell asleep for both the 87 and 91 series game 7s. I woke up from cheers in both. I wish a MN mens pro team can win something while I am still alive. I am 46 and both grandpas and my mother has passed on with nothing, please let me see one championship while I am an adult. Please.

[@coreyrowe4119]

To date this remains Minnesota's last championship in any of the big 4 leagues (MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL).

[@Bolo_B_Bolon]

Minnesota Twins are my team. I remember watching this series in 1991. Jack Morris pitched a real gem. It could be one of the best performances, and the series was really memorable for me, even more than the 1987 team. I think this team was pretty, and if I remember correctly they only won maybe 85 games in 1987...

[@dubsc.2684]

Good luck. Twins are a great fanbase, really wanted them to advance to the ALCS this year. Was in high school for the '87 series and was a junior in college for this game. This game was probably the greatest World Series game I've ever seen, and I've seen them all since Reggie Jackson's infamous 3-homer game 6 in '77.

Hard to believe this was 30 years ago. This was my last summer before I got my first "real job". The 15 game win streak was unreal. We'd watch the Twins win, then head to the casino around 10 or so (as black jack was just legalized), often times leaving in daylight. Sleep, then do the exact same thing the next day. Rinse, watch, and repeat. It was one helluva summer.

[@jrodlange8099]

I'm a Twins fan but can't agree more with this post. What the Braves did from 91-99 was incredible. They are my one exception to the question would you rather have a really good team for a long time or have a shorter reign with multiple championships. I would answer championships 99% of the time. But I'd rather have this Braves era as opposed to the Marlins who parlayed 2 wild card years into championships despite being dreadful most of their other seasons.

[@nedcassley5169]

Atlanta made so many blunders throughout the Series but still could have won it because Minnesota didn't play their best (with certain exceptions, like Jack Morris).

Regarding the Lonnie Smith "blunder": He lost the ball in the outfield. If he fell for the decoy, why didn't he slide into second?

He hesitated which was enough. I don't believe he was convinced enough to slide but he slowed to pick up the ball and that's all it took.

I mean, you talk about a true home-field advantage...we had it in the Metrodome. Dazzle knew that bloop single was going to take a big hop, and he never slowed down. No visiting player would ever have that kind of insight. The Metrodome might've been a dump, but it gave us wins.

[@BM151]

So many easter eggs in this classic! My favorite 2 are when Kent Hrbek gets "hit" by the pitch in the 4th (John Smoltz to this day doesn't believe it and neither do I) and when Terry Pendleton "fouls" the ball on the 3rd strike in the 8th (Jack Morris to this day doesn't believe it and neither do I) - I know hindsight is always 20/20, but if these plays don't happen, the entire momentum of the game changes

[@senatorlainez]

I remember watching this game as a kid and cheering for the Twinkies because of my absolute hate of the Braves since they beat out the Dodgers for the pennant. Also, these Twins uniforms are a whole lot better than the threads they got on now. Lastly, listening to Jack Buck's voice was what baseball was all about.

[@willpomeroy7711]

The Braves not scoring a run in the top of the 8th with runners on 2nd and 3rd and nobody out cost them that title. Lonnie Smith’s terrible base-running on Pendleton’s double will haunt that franchise forever.

Something I hadn't thought about before this, but both halves of the inning in the eighth ended on pretty awesome double plays that aren't your run of the mill double plays

[@homelessjesse9453]

Fun fact: The Twins were accused of cheating somewhat both in the 1987 and 1991 World Series. Legend has it, they set the air conditioning to max during the top innings. Helping to blow the balls back into play.

I used to look at plays, like that and come to the same conclusion, what I was 9. ;) First thing, when you look at things that way. You only look at he big picture, which is, one evont. Every part of the equation, changes. Who hits next?, who pitches next. Who stays in the game? Who leaves and tries to steal?
