1991 WS, Game 1: Braves @ Twins
In Game 1 of the 1991 World Series, Jack Morris scattered five hits across seven innings of work, holding Atlanta to two runs. A three-run homer from Greg Gagne in the fifth inning was the difference, and Kent Hrbek belted a HR into the upper deck in right field an inning later to add an insurance run.
This video is the original CBS broadcast with Jack Buck and Tim McCarver, including pre and postgame coverage.

I can't believe I just get to watch all of these games. So grateful!
I had forgotten how the umps didn't automatically ask for the ball after it hits the dirt. I miss 90's baseball man, even though my team wasn't too good in the 90s. Play Ball!
Awesome World Series !!!❤

It's cool that he was such a good sport about getting spiked. He even picks up Gladden's helmet and hands it to him. What a class act!😃⚾

@@zacharybinx8642 Yeah that was cleat on meat right there, might have caught on the left thigh guard but still that was some impact, one of those rare instances where an epic bruise brings back a good memory. That was solid plate coverage by Olson, and what a sportsman too! Professional. I liked the instant replay angle the best 1:53:08
God bless Bob Casey, I come back to this just to hear him shouting again lol
I remember this world series 1991 it was a good series.

Just like Kirby did in Game 6, Gladys Knight knocked it out of the park in Game 1.

That's not true at all. Dan Gladden, Mike Pagliarulo, and Greg Gagne were nice role players, but defintely not all-stars

@@TheVCRTimeMachineThe only All Star hitter player they had was Kirby Puckett. RIP to him but he was one of the greatest Twins of all time. Hrbek was decent player and Chuch Knoblauch too before he played for the Yankees WS teams in late 90s.

Am I missing something? Why did both Pat O' Brien and Jack Buck refer to this as the 88 World Series? This is 1991, with Minnesota and Atlanta, not 1988 with Oakland and Los Angeles.

RIP Tommy Lasorda. January 7th, 2021.
What is that music at 1:13? And why does it bring to mind Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves (1991)?
Epic!
I forgot how weirdly dead it was in there this game 1 (compared to the '87 ALCS and WS in the Dome.) You could hear a pin drop at times, even with the Twins batting and w runners on, and when Morris had batters 0-2 with 2 outs. I remember wondering why everyone seemed so down. Maybe Jack Buck somehow put the crowd to sleep like he did the TV audience. They did finally get going when the Twins scored, but it was like the crowd was from back in the early losing days of the Twins in the Dome w 15,000 fans bored to death. Bizarre.
Minnesota Twins.
I have a request for you! Can you post the Twins game from 4/21/2002? I was just a kid and was circled by Bert. Probably one of the first ones ever. I’d love to see the FSN broadcast again!

Do you have April 15 2007? Twins vs devil rays? I believe it was on wftc my 29 and it featured new twins manager rocco baldeli batting leadoff in center field and batting leadoff
I love that opening with Ernie Harwell. Baseball was at its best when it relied on sentiment and history to promote the present game. As soon as the game embraced sabermetrics and tried to be modern and cool it lost the edge.

The Braves started the wrong pitcher.

In the beginning he says, "go ahead and pinch yourselves folks, look who's in the World Series." and he shows shots Kirby Puckett and Tom Glavine. what's so shocking about those Hall of Famers being in the World Series? haha

I don't think that can happen.
The way Gladden slid into home should be illegal and ruled an automatic out
