Most of the great teams these days have two solid backs, which is what […]

July 24th, 2007 · 1 Comment
It has been one incredible and disturbing week in sports. I’m left wondering at what point did ESPN.com become Fox News? As I write this post the top five stories on the AP sports wire have nothing to do with sports but rather the cheaters and law breakers involved in them. You […]

MLB’s Greatest Singles Hitting Team
July 15th, 2007 · 1 Comment
The one thing that I find very frustrating and very exillerating when watching the Twins is the constant singles parade.

Below is a great article from Dave St. Peter President of the Twins Baseball Club. Everything is pointing to a 2015 All-Star game on the 30th and 50th Anniversaries of previous MN All-Star Games. It would also mark the 30th Anniversary of the Home Run Derby.
