Kirby Puckett

Simply the best chronicles a remarkable year for the world champion Minnesota Twins. This video captures the 1991 championship season in it’s entirety from spring training through game seven of the World Series.

From the housing projects of Chicago to two World Series championships, "Puck" lived a storybook life. But when tragedy struck, this champion showed what true heroes are made of.

Never has a home team played a World Series under a roof or in front of louder fans. Never in the history of Major League Baseball has the home team won every game of the World Series. Of course, never before had the Minnesota Twins won a World Series, and never would anyone have picked them to improve from a sub-.500 winning percentage to champions in just one season. All seven World Series Games against the St. Louis Cardinals.
