1987 World Series

The 1987 World Series was played by the Minnesota Twins and the St. Louis Cardinals.

Minnesota was victorious in a World Series that was the first in which each home team won every one of their games. This happened again in 1991 (also a Twins championship) over the Atlanta Braves and in 2001 with the Arizona Diamondbacks defeating the New York Yankees.

The World Series win was the first for the Twins franchise since 1924, when the team was located in Washington, D.C., and was known as the Washington Senators.

Famous quotes containing the words world and/or series:

    We came into the world like brother and brother;
    And now let’s go hand in hand, not one before another.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    As Cuvier could correctly describe a whole animal by the contemplation of a single bone, so the observer who has thoroughly understood one link in a series of incidents should be able to accurately state all the other ones, both before and after.
    Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930)
