Hit a homer, rob a homer. Kirby Puckett somehow managed to overshadow himself #OTD in 1991 when he made a tremendous leaping grab in the third inning and then hit a walk-off home run in the 10th to force a Game 7 and, eventually, a @twins championship. https://t.co/jUfDa1DpvZ pic.twitter.com/z1iJWBgmV0
