Never before in baseball history had a team finished last and rallied to take the pennant the following season. Yet in 1991, lightning struck twice as the Minnesota Twins and the Atlanta Braves both reached the World Series. The remarkable turnarounds resulted in arguably the greatest Fall Classic of all time.Four of the games between the Twins and Braves were settled by 'walkoff' runs. Three of them, including the climactic Game Seven, went into extra innings. And all seven games had memorable momentsfrom close plays at the plate to baserunning blunders to pitching gems to dramatic lateinning home runs. The Atlanta JournalConstitution cautioned fans about sleep deprivation as the nation was riveted watching Jack Morris, Kent Hrbek, Dan Gladden, and Kirby Puckett go against Tom Glavine, Lonnie Smith, John Smoltz, and David Justice on primetime television.In Down to the Last Pitch, awardwinning writer Tim Wendel brings to life these seven memorable games, weaving contemporary interviews with discussions decades later about this classic World Series, and teasing out fact from legend.When the final out was recorded in 1991, the cover headline in Baseball Weekly read, 'BEST WORLD SERIES EVER?' While that can always be debated, what happened inside and outside the lines in 1991 continues to resonate today.
