This 1991 SI's cover story is titled "A Series to Savor" and is found on pages 16-27: In a seven game World Series replete with extra-inning heroics, the Twins rallied to beat the Braves. Photos include a sweet photo of Lonnie Smith laying out Brian Harper, the 000-000-000-0 scoreboard, Kirby's classic Game 6 fistpump, and Hrbie laying one on his wife, and additional articles on Morris' Game 7 performance, and the Braves - one run short.

Additional articles of note include:

  1. Clemson defeats NC State in football

  2. pro football quarterback's passing problems

  3. Dan Marino's fading Super Bowl opportunities

  4. Seton Hall's Maro Lokar, and his home country of Slovenia

  5. Links found between Don King and the mob

Personal notes:

  • Here's the beauty of this particular SI cover: while the untitled photo on the front pretty much says it all, it's another gatefold! The far right side spells "TWINS" down the edge, colored so the letters "W I N" stand out.

I'm too young to remember the roster (and the DVD set isn't out yet).
Who is #0?

I wonder if some people feel like they didn't "deserve" their World Series rings due to what a horrible season they had. I think they might justify it by saying, "Well, I did have that one game-winning RBI. And that one day I went three for four." Or perhaps, "I was a good defensive catcher and I was a good mentor for Brian Harper."

When one of my house basketball teams as a kid finished 4th in a league tournament, I got a trophy but I can't say I was much proud of it. I scored four points all season and sat the bench as much was allowed. Still, it was fun winning games despite my talents.
