The Twins beat the Braves, 1-0 to capture 1991 World Series
On October 27, 1991 – In a Game 7 that rivals any in World Series history, the Atlanta Braves and Minnesota Twins go scoreless through nine innings.
Lonnie Smith is decoyed into pausing at second base to keep him from scoring the winner for Atlanta in the 8th. Gene Larkin’s single over a drawn-in outfield scoring Dan Gladden in the 10th is the difference in the first extra-inning Game 7 in 67 years, as Minnesota is crowned World Champion. Jack Morris, who pitches the 10-inning, 1 – 0 shutout, is named MVP. Both Atlanta and Minnesota had finished last in their respective divisions in 1990. Its the second world championship since relocating from Washington D.C. in 1961.
The 36 year-old right-hander, who posts a 2-0 record along with a 1.17 ERA during his three starts, is named the Most Valuable Player of the Fall Classic.
