I bought my tickets in Sept. when the Braves were still behind the Dodgers. There was a pretty serious recession going on, Eastern airlines had gone out of business and when I went to the stadium to buy my tickets on the day the Braves put them on sale I was one of a handful of people at the ticket window. For the next few weeks I would take the tickets out of the envelope and just gaze at them. I had never even seen a ticket to a world series game. For a Braves fan the whole experience was the most exciting baseball experience of my life. When we left the stadium after the Braves lost game 5 of the division having to return to Pittsburgh down 3 to 2, I just knew my dream of going to the series was over. Reading your account of game 2 reminded me of one of the funniest moments I've ever witnessed at a professional baseball game. When Hrbek came to bat the first time in game 3, it was as if thousands of Braves fans had met prior to the game and rehearsed what they would do, for as he stepped into the batter's box a chant rose up from the crowd: "cheater, cheater, cheater." It was a beautiful thing. I had more fun that year at the ballpark than at any time before or since. Even the '95 season could not compare. I, too, think the '91 series was the most exciting I've ever seen. Thanks for the memories.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('17819','larry'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('17819','larry','I had grown up playing little league baseball in a suburb south of Atlanta and dreamed of going to a World Series.

This series was everything a baseball fan can love. Kirby's home run will be what I will always remember him for. I nearly tear up when I see the home run, Puckett jogging the bases with arms pumping to a roar of an adoring Minnesota crowd. Jack Morris' game 7 was the greatest pitching performance of any World Series. I know that's entirely up for debate. But he had 10 innings of amazing and gutsy pitching in the biggest game on the largest stage. I cannot forget the other amazing plays by both sides. Lemke, Justice, Gant, Leuis, Knoblauch, and Harper. This World Series was simply the best collection of games that where played on the baseball diamond.
