The 1991 World Series, Major League Baseball's 88th championship, saw the Minnesota Twins defeat the Atlanta Braves four games to three, marking the Twins' second championship in Minnesota. Notably, both teams had finished in last place in the 1990 season, making them the first league champions ever to do so, a historic turnaround. Widely celebrated as one of the greatest Fall Classics ever, ESPN ranked it the "Greatest of All Time" in 2003, highlighting five games decided by one run and three going into extra innings. The tense deciding Game 7 was scoreless until the bottom of the 10th inning, when the Twins won 1–0 behind a complete-game performance by starting pitcher Jack Morris, who earned the Series MVP. The series' total of 69 innings tied the record for a seven-game World Series, which was later broken by the 2025 World Series. As of 2026, it stands as Minnesota's last championship and the most recent men's professional title for the Minneapolis–St. Paul region.
