Most Memorable
1 in my lifetime... Kirby Puckett hitting the homer to send the Twins to Game 7 in the 1991 World Series. I was 15 years old, living in St. Paul, and a baseball maniac at the time. When Kirby hit that homer was probably the single moment of purest joy in my entire childhood. "And we'll see ya'... tomorrow night!"
1 from before my lifetime... I have always loved the story of Grover Cleveland Alexander coming out of the bullpen with a hangover, as told by Ken Burns, in Game 7 of the '26 Series to strike out Lazzeri with the bases loaded. I picture him moving like Clint Eastwood in A Fistful of Dollars.
