Movie Reviews of MLB Vintage World Series Films - Minnesota Twins 1987 & 1991
Movie Review: Love the Twins. Hate the DVDs.
Summary: 2 Stars
Okay, so I thought I was getting a helluva deal when I purchased this item. It had vintage World Series footage from both 1987 and 1991...as a huge Twins fan that seemed like a great deal.
Unfortunately, it's basically just the exact footage--undoctored, unrestored, etc--from back in the day. The same corny announcers. The same crappy quality. Although they did add a bunch of really, really, REALLY lame music to "spice things up" a bit.
I thought I was getting a far more modern, sleek updated video package chronicling the Twins two improbable World Series runs, instead I received a compilation video I could have made myself.
Boooooooooooooooo!!
Summary of MLB Vintage World Series Films - Minnesota Twins 1987 & 1991
The 1987 World Series? was the first to be played indoors and the raucous Minnesota Twins? fans did everything they could to blow the roof right off the Metrodome. Record-books will note this Fall Classic? for Kent Hrbek's Game 6 grand slam, while Twins fans will never forget the thunderous, homer-hanky waving crowds that propelled the Twins to a record-setting four home victories.1991 was even more remarkable. Considered to be one of, if not the greatest World Series, the Twins battled through seven extraordinary games. Kirby Puckett's stellar Game 6 including his game-winning, 12th-inning home run was matched the next night by a game for the ages. The Twins captured their second championship with a Game 7, 1-0, 10-inning victory from Jack Morris.1987: Minnesota Twins vs. St. Louis Cardinals1991: Minnesota Twins vs. Atlanta BravesVintage 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
