Editorial Reviews

From the back cover

It was the St. Louis Cardinals' speed and experience against the Minnesota Twins' power and youthful enthusiasm. It was the genius of manger Whitey Herzog against baseball's youngest manager, Tom Kelly. It was St. Louis' Busch Stadium against Minnesota's Metrodome. But in the end, it was a Series of firsts. The first World Series played indoors. The first time a World Series champion was crowned without winning a game on the road. The first World Series championship for the Minnesota Twins. The 1987 World Series home video also includes: Minnesota's frenzied fans and the "Homer Hankies". Grand slams hit by Dan Gladden and Kent Hrbek. The injured Cardinals battling back to win all three games in St. Louis. MVP Frank Viola's victories in Games One and Seven.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Home Field Advantage World Series, July 8, 2000

This review is from: 1987 World Series - Minnesota Twins vs St Louis Cardinals [VHS] (VHS Tape)

The Minnesota Twins and the St. Louis Cardinals will be forever remembered for there epic world series bought. This video captures the feeling going through fans, players, and coaches. For this was the first world series ever to have the home team win every game. So therefore, the Minnnesota Twins captured the championship in seven. The Metradome was at burst with noise, in gargantious preportions, for every Twins City native watched as there Twins took the field. This video captures it all, from the disgust on the faces of the Cardinals players, to the joy of a fan in the 3rd row with a "homer hankie" waving proudly. This is a video of one of the best world series boughts ever.
