The 1987 Series was remarkable in several regards: It featured the first World Series games played in an indoor stadium (the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome) and the final Series game to start earlier than prime time in the eastern United States (Game 6, with a 4 p.m. ET start), and was the first World Series in which all games were won by the home team. (Four previous series had the home team winning the first six games, but in all four cases, the visiting team won Game 7). The 1987 Twins set the record for the worst regular season win-loss record of any World Series championship team (85-77, .525). This record stood until broken in 2006 by the Cardinals themselves, who won the World Series after going 83-78 (.516).

| - The 1987 Series was remarkable in several regards: It featured the first World Series games played in an indoor stadium (the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome) and the final Series game to start earlier than prime time in the eastern United States (Game 6, with a 4 p.m. ET start), and was the first World Series in which all games were won by the home team. (Four previous series had the home team winning the first six games, but in all four cases, the visiting team won Game 7). The 1987 Twins set the record for the worst regular season win-loss record of any World Series championship team (85-77, .525). This record stood until broken in 2006 by the Cardinals themselves, who won the World Series after going 83-78 (.516). Besides setting a record for the worst ever regular season winning percentage for a World Series winner (at the time) and hosting the first ever World Series game indoors, the 1987 Twins were the first team to ever enter the World Series having been outscored in the regular season. The 1987 Twins, as a team, were pretty much outnumbered in virtually every major statistical category. As ABC play-by-play man Al Michaels put it in the pre-game show for Game 1 "They were out everything!" However, he forgot that the Twins defeated Detroit by piling on 34 runs to the Tigers 23 in the 1987 ALCS composite boxscore. For this World Series, the powerhouse Cardinals, making their third World Series appearance in a six season span, were expected to make quick work of the supposedly-hapless Twins. However, the Twins team, the Metrodome and the fans combined to make victory in Minnesota impossible for the St. Louis team, and three of the four Dome games were well out of the Cards' reach by the Seventh-inning stretch.
