From Worst to First!: The Improbable 1991 Seasons of the Atlanta Braves and the Minnesota Twins
reviewed on + 39 more book reviews


A quick read and a nice overview of the 1991 season for the Braves and Twins. If you are looking for in-depth analysis of how each time built these rosters and the drama of the season, you will be disappointed. The detail picks up for the postseason coverage, but the 162 game season is covered in precious few details.

This book is for the fan of either team. General fans of baseball will likely not find much satisfaction in the storyline. But there is little dispute that the Twins and Braves put on one of the greatest World Series performances of all time. Re-reading these moments were great for me as a Minnesota native and will bring a smile to the casual or even serious Braves fan. Just not game seven!
