What happened: On Oct. 27, 1991, Jack Morris pitched all 10 frames for the Minnesota Twins to defeat the Atlanta Braves in the decisive seventh game of the Fall Classic.

Why it matters: The complete-game effort secured the championship in a winner-take-all finale without a bullpen appearance for Minnesota, standing as an October durability benchmark as the 2026 World Series reaches Game 4.

By the numbers: Morris scattered seven hits and struck out eight across 10 scoreless innings in the 1991 finale.

What to watch: Both franchises are navigating offseason pitching changes, with the Twins installing a new pitching coach after five seasons at Triple-A Durham and the Braves evaluating rotation trade options following two August additions from Kansas City.
