Vintage World Series Films: Minnesota Twins collects the two hour-long films summarizing the highlights of the 1987 and 1991 World Series. But both would be good candidates for a Complete Collector's Edition, especially the 1991 series that is still considered by many as the greatest ever played. The core of both teams was the same: manager Tom Kelly; hitters Kirby Puckett and Kent Hrbek; and pitchers Frank Viola and Jack Morris, supplemented by the likes of Gary Gaetti, Jeff Reardon, Scott Erickson, and Chuck Knoblauch--and of course the Homer Hanky-wielding fans turning the Metrodome into a house of horrors for opposing teams. After beating the St. Louis Cardinals in 1987, the Twins faced the Atlanta Braves in 1991. They came from behind to win, propelled by Puckett's huge bat and glove in game 6, followed by Morris's 10-inning complete-game shutout in game 7. Both individual performances were among the greatest in World Series history, and whenever a case is made for Morris's entering the Hall of Fame, his 1991 game 7 is always considered Exhibit A. --David Horiuchi
