I can't seem to get off the subject of Twins. Today Minnesotans will wake up and happily see that the Minnesota Twins baseball team won a late-night 10th inning victory over Chicago. We have chased them for first place this fall. TV clips this morning show a sold-out stadium celebrating as if we had won the whole deal. We are #1 in our division, and will play a three game series this weekend.
I haven't followed baseball much this year. Many Septembers the team has gotten hot but lost out. It is a young team that plays as a team. Some have called the Twins a training camp for the Yankees in past years. When a great pitcher or hitter comes up, a bigger, richer team buys them. The Red Sox "stole" our ace pitcher last year.
It seems more recent than '87 & '91, but I vividly remember those two world series wins. We were elated. Our older kids were fans and each went to one of the championship games. Dan had a good friend who slept on the sidewalk overnight to get the tickets. Dan was a college freshman and out of town at the time so he slept in a warm bed while his buddy froze in queue.
When the Twins started to look like they would head to the playoffs, I thought it would be great if the grandbabies might be born during the World Series with the Twins playing. They decided to come a little earlier. Maybe I should shop for size 0 tee shirts or a penant to put on those isolettes. Go Twins.
Baby update: Mary should go home Friday evening and is doing super. Zoe is beginning to nurse and looks great. Mike said the Dr. thought they hope to get the little guy off oxygen after the weekend. Good news. Go Twins!
