Congratulations to Joseph "I secretly enjoyed John Cena in The Marine" Halbert for correctly naming "El Scorcho" by Weezer as the Wednesday Song of the Day.

#3-1991 World Series-Minnesota Twins v. Atlanta Braves
As the fan of a oft-struggling franchise, this one gives me a lot of hope. Both the Twins and the Braves had finished last in their respective divisions in 1990, but 1991 saw them both rise to the pinnacle of the baseball world.

Let's run down the cast of characters in this Series:

Kirby Puckett, Charlie Liebrandt, Tom Kelly, Jack Morris, John Smoltz, Mark Lemke, David Justice a.k.a. "The Former Mr. Halle Barry", Steve Avery, Gene Larkin, Ron Gant, Danny Gladden, and Kent Hrbek.

At least 4 games in this Series saw the winning team score the deciding run in the 9th inning or later. Who can forget Kirby Puckett's amazing catch against the wall in the latter innings of Game 6, only to have him top that catch with a homer in the bottom of the 11th to send the Series to the deciding Game 7.

Obviously, the most memorable game in this series was Game 7. John Smoltz and Jack Morris both pitched the games of their lives that night as they kept both teams scoreless through 9 innings. Although Smoltz bowed out in the 9th, Morris pitched a complete game that night, but he had no run support until Gene Larkin singled home Danny Gladden with the winning run in the bottom of the 10th.

I still remember watching this game and wondering, "Who in the heck is Gene Larkin?" Somehow, even at seven, I understood that sometimes the most unlikely of faces get their chance to shine on the big stage. Good form, Gene.
