- changed grammar regarding entry in trivia section —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 192.138.89.234 (talk • contribs) 3 December 2005.
- The trivia part where it says that 5 players appeared in both the 1987 and 1991 series is wrong. It should be 7 players and they are as follows: Kent Hrbek, Kirby Puckett, Dan Gladden, Gene Larkin, Al Newman, Randy Bush and Greg Gagne. But then again I dont know if the statement means they were on the team and played in the series or if it means that they were on the team but did not play in a game. Either way this statement is wrong. Dan Gladden played in both Series. Im not sure if the following players played in a game in both series: Al Newman, Gene Larkin Randy Bush. But they were on both teams. Hrbek, Puckett, Gagne and Gladden were on both teams and played in both series. I will look it up and fix this error after I research it.
I changed the trivia part mentioned above. Using Baseball-reference.com I looked it up and here is what I found. Kent Hrbek, Kirby Puckett, Dan Gladden, Greg Gagne, Gene Larkin, Randy Bush and Al Newman were on both the 1987 and 1991 teams. Further all 7 played in a game in both Series. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.84.66.113 (talk • contribs) 24 September 2006.
- This entry seems to have a little bit of a Minnesota Twins bias. In particular, the descriptions of Games 4 & 5 focus on the fact that the Twins lost, rather than the fact that the Braves won. This implies that the article was written from Minnesota's perspective, rather than a neutral perspective. Examples: "Battered by their marathon loss in Game 3, the Twins came back the next day and fought fiercely, losing Game 4 by a score of 3-2." and "However, the wheels came off in Game 5 and the exhausted Twins didn't put up much of a fight as they were routed 14-5." These two statements are also misleading, because the description contradicts the outcome. "came back ... and fought fiercely" implies a win (comeback). And starting Game 5 with "however" implies that it has a different result than the previous game (when it was, in fact, Minnesota's third straight loss, giving Atlanta the Series lead 3-2). I have never edited Wikipedia, so I have not made any changes to the article itself.

- I was the one who left the comment above about Twins bias, but it has been rectified (and then some!) by some more thorough game recaps by Maestroh. Thanks! BJ Nemeth 23:17, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
