He is one of seven Twins players to play in both the 1987 and 1991 World Series. He has the last World Series hit and at bat for the Twins. He also has the biggest hit in Twins World Series history. Gene Larkin was my guest for this championship level episode of The Show About The Show Podcast. We talked about many things such as his career in the minors, how he had to grind, how failing helped him to later succeed, what makes Tom Kelly a baseball genius in his eyes and who would win a 7 game World Series between the 1987 and 1991 teams?

He also gave this memorable quote of :"he was the best 2 strike 0-2 hitter I've ever seen by far". (It may not be who you think it is)

Who did he say that about? Find out on the latest episode. He also gives some amazing detail as to the moments leading up to his legendary game seven at bat in the tenth inning, "I knew Pena couldn't strike me out" and "I had a job to do up there, I got a fastball and did it"

For any fans of Larkin, or the Twins world series teams, this is an absolute MUST listen!
