MPR’s Gary Eichten narrates an audio montage of the Minnesota Twins World Series celebration at Metrodome. Segment includes speaking clips of MLB announcer Bob Casey, Minnesota Governor Arne Carlson, Twins Manager Tom Kelly, and Minnesota Twins players.
SPEAKER 1: The best team in the world. The best baseball team in the world. Here's Bob Casey.
BOB CASEY: Home of the 1991 World champion Minnesota Twins.
CROWD: [CHEERING]
SPEAKER 1: And here they come, slowly making their way out of the big tunnel.
CROWD: [CHEERING]
BOB CASEY: Before we bring on the team, we have a number of special guests that we would like to recognize at this time. And to kick things off, I am pleased to introduce to you the governor of our great state of Minnesota, the world champion Twins, Governor Arne Carlson.
ARNE CARLSON: The 1991 Minnesota Twins by going from worst to first have once again proven that anything is possible.
CROWD: [CHEERING]
SPEAKER 1: Chance for the fans to pat themselves on the back.
CROWD: [CHEERING]
SPEAKER 1: And I'm convinced it did make a difference those last two games back here.
[INAUDIBLE]
SPEAKER 2: That's good enough for me. First of all, I'd like to call on our skipper, who is now undefeated in two World Series, Tom Kelly.
CROWD: [CHEERING]
TOM KELLY: The ball players they played with such enthusiasm to play as well as they did in the tension that was involved in the games and the pressure that was involved. They really responded well to the situation, and I couldn't be more happier with my players. They did just a great job and they make me a smart manager. Thank you.
SPEAKER 1: [? Kirby, ?] just radiates charm. His eyes are alive. He's got a big smile.
SPEAKER 3: I think it would be difficult not to like the man.
SPEAKER 4: Supposed to ask you a question. Take us around the bases one more time, all right?
TOM KELLY: Well, when we came back here, everybody was saying that we were going to lose and do this. And, of course, we were down 3 games to 2. And I told people in Atlanta, I said, we're down 3 games to 2. We came out of St. Louis in '87 also. So I said, it's not over till it's over. And we came back here, and we won.
CROWD: [CHEERING]
CHUCK KNOBLAUCH: And then we felt very comfortable coming in and playing as a rookie. But it doesn't feel like a rookie anymore being a world champion and having great fans like you guys. Appreciate it. Chuck Knoblauch.
SPEAKER 1: Fans are on their feet.
CROWD: [CHEERING]
SPEAKER 1: Jack Morris just shaking his head, just shaking his head. Doffs his cap to the crowd.
JACK MORRIS: I might have stole the spotlight in the last game, but with all these men behind me, there wouldn't have been a last game. There's no I in team.
CROWD: [CHEERING]
BOB CASEY: The totals on the board are correct. The Twins are world champions. Thank you, and good afternoon.
CROWD: [CHEERING]
