#6.  Don Baylor's Two-Run Blast

Until I bought the 87 World Series DVDs and rewatched Game 6, I had completely forgotten about the gravity of Baylor's homer.  I had seen it in the boxscore, but I couldn't remember it (to be fair, I was seven years old).  But the Twins had been down 5-2 in the 5th inning in the deciding game.  Baylor had slugged only .306 since coming from Boston with zero homers.  He would only hit 7 more in his career after this.  But he tied the game to help set up Hrbek's heroics the next inning.

#11  Twins Turn 5-4-2 Double Play in Division Clinching Game

I never knew about this play until Algonad brought it up last week.  Ballsy move by Newman and I love Blyleven's acrobatics.
