Oct 26, 1991 · 10/26/1991: Kirby Puckett hits a dramatic walk-off homer in the 11th inning to win Game 6 and send the 1991 World Series to a Game 7.
With the Minnesota Twins facing elimination against the Atlanta Braves, and with the score tied 3–3 in the bottom of the 11th inning, Kirby Puckett stepped up to the plate and drove the game-winning home run off of Charlie Leibrandt into the left field seats to force a decisive Game 7.
Kirby Puckett sprinted, leaped and extended his glove two feet above the Plexiglas fence in left-center field – right over Tony Oliva’s retired No. 6 – to rob Ron Gant of the Braves of an extra-base hit, before a Game 6 World Series crowd of 55,155 at the Metrodome.
