One of the most magnificent post-season performances ever.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Twins came home to Minnesota down three games to two in the World Series. Lose Game 6 and it was over. There  would be no tomorrow, no Game 7.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd apparently Kirby Puckett had other plans (\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eand I love this kind of stuff. True or not, I don't care, I live for the legend!\u003c\/strong\u003e)\u003c\/em\u003e. Before the game, Puckett reportedly told his teammates to climb on his back and he’d carry them. Which sounds like the kind of thing that becomes a MUCH better story if you actually go out and do it. And holy smokes, he did it. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFirst inning, Puckett tripled home the game’s first run. In the third, Ron Gant drove a ball toward the left-center wall that looked like trouble. Puckett raced back, climbed the wall \u0026amp; took it away. It remains one of the defining catches of his career. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe drove in another run in the fifth. And yet somehow, after all of that, Game 6 was still tied 3–3 heading into extra innings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTHEN came the bottom of the 11th. Charlie Leibrandt on the mound, Puckett leading off. And one swing later, the baseball disappeared over the same left-center-field wall where Puckett had made that catch earlier in the night.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwins win, 4–3. On to Game 7. And Jack Buck gave the whole thing the only ending it ever needed: \u003cstrong\u003e“And we’ll see you tomorrow night!”\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd THAT  is what I wanted this Pop Fly to be about.

Puckett very literally carried the Twins into tomorrow. to 7.  And boy, did that tomorrow turned out pretty well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJack Morris threw 10 shutout innings. Gene Larkin brought Dan Gladden home. The Twins won 1–0 and became World Series champions. Even as the Braves fan I am, that was a magnificent ending. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut none of that happens without the night before. Sometimes baseball gives you a hero. Sometimes it gives you a guy who says, essentially, \u003cstrong\u003eget on my back\u003c\/strong\u003e...\u003cem\u003e…and then actually carries everybody to tomorrow.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWORLD SERIES ’91: “AND WE’LL SEE YOU TOMORROW NIGHT!”\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pop Fly Pop Shop","offers":[{"title":"Regular","offer_id":50230764273904,"sku":"REG_TOMORROW","price":92.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0539\/6450\/5260\/files\/World_Series91back_WEB.jpg?v=1786309743","url":"https:\/\/popflypopshop.com\/en-ca\/products\/253-world-series-91-and-well-see-you-tomorrow-7-x-10-5","provider":"Pop Fly Pop Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
