Minnesota Twins ( visu )
1 edition published in 2006 in English and held by 41 libraries worldwide
Two hour-long films summarizing the highlights of the 1987 and 1991 World Series featuring the Minnesota Twins. The 1987 World Series inaugurated the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome in fine style, and their triumph over the St. Louis Cardinals extended through seven games, filled with nail-biting tension. 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. Many consider the 1991 series among the greatest ever played, as the Twins faced down the powerhouse Atlanta Braves

"What a change of scenery!" The 1959 World Series featured the NL Los Angeles Dodgers beating the AL Chicago White Sox, four games to two, in the first World Series games ever played on the West Coast. The 1963 Series matched two-time defending champions, the New York Yankees against the Dodgers, with the Dodgers sweeping the Series in four games to capture their second title in five years. In 1965, the Dodgers took on the Minnesota Twins, who had won their first pennant since 1933. It became the third Dodger title since their move to Los Angeles in 1958. In 1981, the Dodgers were in their third Series in five years. They won in six games for their first title since 1965, and their first victory over the Yankees since 1963. The 1988 Series matched the Dodgers against Oakland A's, with the Dodgers upsetting the heavily favored A's to win in five games, the opposite result of their 1974 meeting. The highlight came when injured Dodgers MVP Kirk Gibson, who could barely walk due to injuries suffered during the NLCS, hit a pinch-hit, walk-off home run off closer Dennis Eckersley in Game 1

Mets ( visu )
1 edition published in 2006 in English and held by 38 libraries worldwide
In 1969, the first year of divisional play in baseball, the Mets clicked. They were a team known for incredible starting pitching, yet a terrible record on the mound marked the first four games of the Series. In game five, the Mets starters rebounded, aided by the bats and the bullpen, to pull off the "Miracle of 1969." The miracles continued in 1986 partially thanks to one of the most famous plays in World Series history. Facing the Red Sox in the "Shuttle Series," down three games to two and 5-3 with two outs in the bottom of the 10th, the Mets used three singles, a wild pitch and, most famously, a Mookie Wilson grounder through Bill Buckner's legs to win the game, forcing a Game 7, which the Mets would win 8-5. Ironically, the pitcher who flew out to end the 69 Series was Davey Johnson--the same person to manage the Mets to their 1986 title

Detroit ( visu )
1 edition published in 2007 in English and held by 35 libraries worldwide
The 1945 World Series matched the American League Detroit Tigers against the National League Chicago Cubs. The Series was a rematch between the two opponents of the 1935 World Series. The Tigers won four games to three, giving them their second championship and first since their 1935 win. In 1968, the Tigers won their first championship since 1945, and the third in their history. The Tigers came back from a 3-1 deficit to win three in a row, largely on the arm of MVP Mickey Lolich, who won three complete games in a single World Series, a feat not duplicated since, as of 2006. 1984 factoids: rematch between managers Sparky Anderson (Detroit) and Dick Williams (San Diego); Game 5: last World Series afternoon game played outdoors; three players set World Series hitting records; Tiger Stadium the oldest ballpark to host a World Series; battle between fast-food chain owners Tom Monaghan (Domino's, Tigers) and Ray Kroc (McDonald's, Padres); Tigers lead the league from opening day, post a franchise-record 104 wins, becoming the third team in MLB history to lead the league wire-to-wire--winning by 15 games--then cruising through the postseason. It was one of the most dominant single-season performances of the 1980s
