	DVDFanatic Review: Minnesota Twins 1987 World Series Collector's Edition
		In 1987, the Minnesota Twins won the American League West Division with a record of 85-77, which at the time was the fewest regular season victories for a World Series champion.
		World Series Game One – Minnesota 10, Saint Louis 1: In the first World Series game to be played indoors, the Cardinals jumped out to the early lead on a Tony Pena RBI groundout in the second inning, and Joe Magrane held the Twins hitless through the first three innings.
		World Series Game Six – Minnesota 11, Saint Louis 5: In the last World Series game to be played entirely during the afternoon, the Cardinals built a three-run lead entering the bottom of the fifth inning.

	1987 National League Championship Series - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The 1987 National League Championship Series took place between the 6th of October and the 14th of October, at Busch Stadium (Games 1, 2, 6, 7) and Candlestick Park (3, 4, 5).
		Second basemen Jeffrey Leonard, who would go on to win the NLCS MVP award, one of the few times it's been given to a player on the losing team, had a home run in each of the first two games, and he was not nearly done yet.
		The series was tied as the ballclubs headed to San Francisco.

		World Series MVP Viola and future Hall of Famer centerfielder Kirby Puckett were the standouts for the Twins.
		The 1987 World Series was the first year that the home team won all seven games in the fall classic, but the Twins would do the same thing again four years later against the Atlanta Braves.
		This was also the first World Series to be played "indoors," at a dome stadium, but from a historical perspective that it is the lesser piece of baseball trivia to the fact that the Twins's regular-season winning percentage (.525) was the lowest ever for a World Series Champion.

		On October 24, 1987, Kirby Puckett of the Minnesota Twins tied the World Series record for runs scored in a single series game.
		Frank Viola won both variations of the World Series Most Valuable Player Award thanks largely in part to his performance during the clutch.

	World Series of Poker - TV Wiki - a Wikia wiki
		The original World Series of Poker was started in 1969 by Tom Moore of San Antonio, Texas, at the Holiday Hotel and Casino in Reno and was an invitational event.
		The set of tournaments that the World Series of Poker (WSOP) would evolve into was the brainchild of Las Vegas casino owner and poker player Benny Binion, as well as his two sons Jack and Ted.
		With the exception of winners of the World Series Of Poker Main Event satellite tournaments (who automatically win a spot in the main event), all remaining players (including former champions, celebrities, and professional poker players) must supply the $10,000 buy-in, in order to participate.

	1987 World Series Game 1: St. Louis Cardinals (0-0) @ Minnesota Twins (0-0) « Coffeyville Whirlwind
		After three innings of play in the first World Series game ever in the Metrodome, the Twins actually trailed 1-0.
		He is now the proud holder of the first World Series grand slam since 1970, and, more importantly, his team is three wins away from the biggest prize.
		I was caught up in the series for sure, but don’t remember watching most of it (it may have been on past my bedtime…).

	Sporting News: Baseball History of the World Series
		While St. Louis entered the Series with manpower problems -- slugger Jack Clark was disabled because of an ankle injury and a rib ailment would curtail Terry Pendleton's playing time -- many so-called experts still favored the Cardinals because of their postseason experience, pitching depth, speed and year-long knack of overcoming injuries.
		And wouldn't you know it, the World Series would begin in the AL champion's home park and four games would be played at that site if the fall classic were to go the distance.
		In the Series opener, Minnesota's Dan Gladden capped a seven-run fourth inning with a bases-loaded home run off reliever Bob Forsch and Steve Lombardozzi cracked a two-run homer against Forsch in the fifth.

	Twins make World Series exciting
		In only their fifth year after the move west from Washington, D.C., the Twins clashed with the Dodgers in the 1965 World Series and wound up surprising many by easily defeating future Hall of Fame pitchers Don Drysdale and Sandy Koufax in the first two games at Metropolitan Stadium.
		The 1987 World Series between the Twins and Cardinals brought new meaning to the term "home-field advantage." Now that Minnesota called the five-year-old Metrodome home, it was also the first time that World Series games were played indoors.
		The series shifted to Atlanta, where in the bottom of the 12th of Game 3, Braves second baseman Mark Lemke's two-out RBI single broke a 4-4 deadlock.

		The 1987 Twins, by contrast, were outscored 806-786 during the regular season and finished in the bottom half of the AL in both runs scored and runs allowed.
		In 1987, Kirby was at his very best, hitting.332 (4th in the league) with power (28 homers) and finished 3rd in AL MVP voting.
		The 1987 Twins also hold the honor of the worst road record of any World Series winner, a stunning (and stinking) 29-52 during the regular season.

		Their offensive output of nine hits was closer to the Twins' output, but the home team burst out to an early lead with a six-run fourth inning, generating all the offence that starting pitcher Bert Blyleven needed to win the game.
		The Series returned to the Metrodome with the Twins facing elimination (a position they would find themselves in once more four years later against the Atlanta Braves).
		The 1987 Minnesota Twins became only the second team to have at least two grand slams in a single World Series (the 1956 New York Yankees are the other).

		And if you're a baseball purist, mop your brow and admit that the World Series actually survived, even though four games were played indoors and, for the first time in its 84 years, the Series winner failed to win a game on the road.

		With a lineup powered by the hard-hitting foursome, a staff anchored by two starting aces and one in the bullpen, a manager whose calm was contagious, and rabid fans who nearly blew the roof off the home field, the Twins throttled baseball with an unmatched home field advantage.
		Cardinals fans may want to own it too for historical purposes and footage of solid play by several of their stars at the time, although they should look to the 1982 or 2006 World Series for better highlights of their team.
