Right now on TV I found a rebroadcast of Game 7 of the 1991 World Series.
27 October 1991 … arguably one of the greatest World Series games ever played.
I was in Rome at the time. A priest friend sent a VCR tape and we gathered to watch it.

WP: Jack Morris LP: Alejandro Pena
Peña, right foot on the rubber. You can taste the pressure here in the ‘Dome as Alejandro straightens up. And the pitch to Larkin. Swung on, a high fly ball into left center, the run will score, the ball will bounce for a single, and the Minnesota Twins are the champions of the world!
—Vin Scully, calling Larkin’s hit on CBS Radio.
