1991 World Series, Game 7

Ranked by espn.com as the greatest World Series of all time, the 1991 contest for national baseball supremacy had many memorable moments. For most Minnesotans, Game 7 of the series is the greatest sports event in state history. Jack Morris. 10 Innings. Zero Runs. Black. Jack.

If you have access the MLB Network (which ranked this game 2nd in MLB history) you can watch this very game with commentary provided by Jack Morris and John Smoltz. Greatest World Series and Game 7* of all time?

You're welcome.

Love,

Minnesota.

Let's pretend that the above photo is of the actual Hamline College Porkers basketball team from 1895. I have no reason to believe that it is or isn't. The Porkers? Regardless...
