1991 World Series Collector's DVD Contest!

The 1991 World Series was a great time in Twins history, and to commemorate the 20th anniversary of this awesome feat, I have been given the opportunity to allow one of my readers to win a very nice collector's DVD set produced by A&E Home Entertainment. I have the details of the DVD set after the contest rules.

Contest Rules:
Well, I decided to keep it simple. If I had a poetry or caption contest, I know I would have a very hard time choosing (all my readers are awesome; I wouldn't be able to choose one over the other). I also didn't want to manage some kind of guessing contest, because I know I'd screw it up somehow (besides, most of my readers are smarter than me, so I'd have a hard time coming up with suitable questions).

So, I'm just going to do a simple drawing. Enter in one of three ways -- comment on this or a future post, send me an email to kbrobaseball@gmail.com, or send me a tweet to @kbrobaseball -- with the words "DVD Entry" before 11:59 pm 31-JUL-2011. I will put all the entries in my trusty game hat, and have one of my kids draw a name out. I assure you it will be on the up and up (you'll have to trust me on this; I don't know an independent auditor, and even if I did, he or she would be my friend, so...). One entry per person.

I will provide the winner with contact information for the person at Foundry Communications / A&E Home Entertainment; it is the winner's responsibility to contact A&E. A&E Home Entertainment and Foundry Communications are solely responsible for delivering the prize. K-bro's baseball blog holds no responsibility for delivery of the prize.

You may see other blogs offering the same DVD set. I encourage you to visit those blogs and enter those contests as well. I know my friends at Knuckleballs Blog are doing a fun prediction contest (although you may need to hurry on that one -- it has to do with Joe Nathan breaking the team saves record).

Good luck.

If you're interested in purchasing the DVD set, see the sidebar on the right; links are there.

PROGRAM DESCRIPTIONS 

THE MINNESOTA TWINS 1991 WORLD SERIES COLLECTOR’S EDITION

In 1991, the Minnesota Twins beat the Atlanta Braves in seven grueling – and unforgettable -- games to capture their second World Series championship since moving to The North Star State in 1961.  Now, catch every historic moment of this championship series with THE MINNESOTA TWINS 1991 WORLD SERIES COLLECTOR’S EDITION, a handsomely packaged 7-disc set.  Packed with bonus footage and all seven games in their entirety, this is sure to be a must get for not only Twins fans, but baseball fans everywhere as the Twins get set to commemorate the 20th anniversary of this milestone series.

Was it really the greatest Fall Classic ever?  Five games were decided by one run.  Four of the games were won on the very last plate appearance. Three games went extra innings. Two managers played a seven-game chess match.  One run was scored in the Game 7, 10-inning masterpiece.  Add in Kirby Puckett’s Game 6 for the ages, a power-hitting third base tandem, Kent Hrbek providing a lift at first, a rookie rising above the tension, veteran power, clutch pitching led by the wizened Jack Morris, plus a relentless and dynamic Atlanta Braves team --and yes, it was the Greatest World Series ever played.


This beautifully-packaged seven-DVD collection contains every pitch, hit, sterling defensive play, and ear-popping Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome memory along with each glorious Minnesota Twins 1991 World Series championship moment. The collection displays the heroics of Dan Gladden, Gene Larkin, Chuck Knoblauch, Chili Davis and Brian Harper, plus the steadying leadership of Manager Tom Kelly. A special DVD audio feature allows fans to watch the World Series television broadcast and listen to the Twins Radio Network announcers! Yes, it was the greatest World Series and the proof is in the seven games digitally preserved in this DVD trophy.

Magic in Minnesota: Remembering the 1991 World Series Championship

In more than 100 years of World Series play there have been many that could be considered memorable and a handful that might be classified as unforgettable.  But only one can be called the best ever – and for many the 1991 World Series between the Atlanta Braves and Minnesota Twins was just that.

MAGIC IN MINNESOTA: Remembering the 1991 World Series Championship revels in the mesmerizing masterpiece of Jack Morris’ 1-0, 10-inning Game 7 and Kirby Puckett’s unbelievable heroics in Game 6.  This commemorative DVD, timed to the Twins’ 20th Anniversary celebration, salutes the contributions of superstars, support players, and the deafening, intimidating Minnesota Twins fans who electrified the Metrodome like never before and includes extensive game highlights and interviews with two-time World Champions manager Tom Kelly, Kent Hrbek, Gene Larkin, Dan Gladden, and  John Gordon.  As an exclusive bonus, the DVD also includes footage such as the final outs from four Twins 1991 ALCS victories plus the celebration footage after winning the 1991 American League Pennant; a vintage 1991 Minnesota Twins commercial; the footage of the ‘91 Twins meeting the President at the White House and Kirby Puckett’s Hall of Fame induction speech


MAGIC IN MINNESOTA is more than just another film about just another championship team.  It’s about the Twins – your Twins – and perhaps the greatest World Series of all time.
