Interesting (if irrelevant) fact: the Twins are the only MLB team whose location was picked because their owner was racist:
"I'll tell you why we came to Minnesota. It was when we found out you only had 15,000 blacks here. Black people don't go to ballgames, but they'll fill up a rassling ring and put up such a chant it'll scare you to death. We came here because you've got good, hardworking white people here."
Let's hope the Yankees have a "Good Ol' Time" in Minnesota like they did in '03, '04 and '09.

(Astute readers will remember that this is the exact same post I made last year on the eve of Yankees-Twins. Hey, it worked once...)
yeah, like how many decades and owners ago was THAT statement? try comparing how many owners on either team was banned from baseball?
ReplyDelete;) GO TWINS!
