Kirby Beats Atlanta: 1991 World Series Game 6

Hall of Famer Kirby Puckett almost single-handedly defeated the Atlanta Braves in a must-win contest with his bat and his glove. He made one of the iconic defensive plays in World Series history and was involved in every run scored by the Minnesota Twins. The last run came on a walk-off homer in the 11th that sent the Metrodome into a frenzy.

Kirby was what baseball was all about. Amazing fielder, amazing batter, and a fan favorite.

If given only one baseball game to watch for the rest of my life, this is it. Kirby put the team on his back to enable Jack to do likewise the following night.

@6:11 it’s easy to get teary eyes…..Kirby hugs Tom Kelly like he was his own dad. Truly a special bond those two had. Twins legends!

Best Home Run in Twins history still BAR NONE! because Hrbek's was a GRAND SLAM!!

Also not listed on here he had a Single & Stolen Base in the Bottom of the 8th but was left stranded after Shane Mack flew out to Brian Hunter to end the Inning.

I wonder what Pendleton was angrily pointing at his dugout for when he got back to first base…I mean other than the fact that Puckett caught the ball.
