The behind-the-headlines story of the "Best World Series Ever" and the 1991 season that propelled two unlikely teams to dominance and ushered in baseball's modern era

Never in baseball history had a team ranked last rebounded to take the pennant the following season. Yet in 1991 lightning struck twice as the Minnesota Twins and the Atlanta Braves, a pair of cellar dwellers the year before, faced each other in an unforgettable World Series. When the final out was recorded, the cover headline in Baseball Weekly read: Best World Series Ever."
