1991 WS, Game 3: Twins @ Braves

[@DaDitka]

I'm a White Sox fan who lived in a suburb of Atlanta from the summer of 1991 until the fall of 1993. This Braves team was a LOT of fun to watch, and the excitement by the fans starting around August of 1991 was something to behold. It reminded me of a scaled-down version of the frenzy that I saw in the Chicagoland area when the Bears went to the Super Bowl in 1985. Except that some people could see the Bears dominating after the 1984 season, but NO ONE expected this from Atlanta. I sure didn't! The fans were doing the tomahawk chop everywhere, the local radio stations were playing songs dedicated to the Braves, and they even put on a pretty neat laser light show at Stone Mountain. And the tomahawk chop was absolutely intimidating in that stadium. It was a great time to live there as a baseball fan. I will readily admit to jumping on the bamdwagon during this time, though I would have definitely rooted against them if they had played the White Sox. Lol This might have been the best all-around World Series i have ever witnessed. It was a lot of fun.

I paid a lot of money for the DVD set but am viewing these videos instead of opening it. Got to leave the kids some precious stuff when I go! 😄

[@paulmcgill2754]

This Baseball is fantastic, and those DVDs would have been well worth the money.

Native Atlantan who suffered through all the lean years with Mama. We were the only Braves fans in our East Texas city until the band wagon hoppers joined us this year. Mama never missed a televised game. RIP

Best World Series ever!

[@zzludzz]

Just realized that when I checked out some of game 7 of the 1987 World Series that Terry Pendleton lost TWICE-to the Twins, at the Metrodome, game 7s

[@ADEAL918]

Yeah Pendleton was injured in that ‘87 series-he had pulled a rib cage muscle running the bases in Game 7 of the NLCS so he couldn’t throw and couldn’t bat right-handed. He was reduced to pinch-hitting duty for the World Series and DH-ing in the two games in MN started by right-handers.

[@walterlv01]

Greg Olson, the Braves' catcher, knew Rick Aguilera could hit, and knew that he would be sent up to bat in the pitcher's spot in that 12th inning. He said he told Cox and anyone else who would listen that his old minor league teammate could swing the bat and that was why Gant was playing at regular depth in center instead of shallow like he ordinarily would have been with an AL pitcher at the plate.

[@111highgh]

Hank Aaron January 22nd, 2021. RIP.

The BOOOOOS for Hrbek (and his reaction) 😂😂😂 🔥🔥🔥

Lol at the Twins players when they heard the tomahawk chop from the crowd. 😂😂😂😂 It's like they knew that it was coming once the Braves were introduced.

Chili Davis was damn good the man had a lifetime BA of .274 over a 19 year career

[@DaDitka]

Just looked up his career. 350 HR, 2380 hits, a 121 OPS+, yeah, he had a solid career. He is not a Hall of Famer. But if I had a guy like him on my team, i would NOT complain.

[@chrisspearline767]

@DaDitka I remember watching him as a kid when he was with SF. He should be in the Hall no doubt about it

The Braves might have won the series if Hrbek doesn't pull Gant off the bag. That's how big that blown call was

[@jameshood4276]

Is it easier to say that than to say that Lonnie Smith cost the Braves a game 7 win because he was deeked by a rookie?

[@overnightdelivery]

​@@jameshood4276Yeah that play was far more costly

I wish McCarver didn't try to be clever.

[@briankirkwood4454]

I know, right? The experience of listening to him is painful enough as it is!

[@wpbarchitect1800]

To be fair, he was working with a corpse, so he kind of had to try too hard. But it can be painful lol....

[@nedcassley5169]

To be fair, he amused me when he was asked why the diamond at his high school was named Tim McCarver MEMORIAL Field he said it was to honor his arm.

[@ADEAL918]

@@wpbarchitect1800exactly. Keep in mind he was only two years removed from working with the dream team when he was paired with Al Michaels and Jim Palmer. The three of them had AMAZING chemistry and they complemented each other so well that he didn’t have to try so hard with that combination-it all came off so naturally. Not the case with him and Jack Buck. He had better chemistry with Joe Buck, certainly, but still nothing compared with the Michaels and Palmer team.
