The Day Eddie Nearly Gave Me a Heart Attack

September 30th, 2003

Twins Win! Twins Win!
Eddie nearly killed me today, but he got the job done, I’m sure he got some butterflies out, and the Twins, as far as I’m concerned, are in the drivers seat for the ALDS.
Now, the series is forced play two games in Minnesota, with 55,000 screaming fans and one dirty, dirty roof. [...]


Now It’s On

September 30th, 2003

One hour and thirty minutes from now, history will be made. The first ever meeting of the Twins and Yankees in postseason play.

Chequamegon Fat Tire 40!

Going into the Firetower Climb, the hardest climb on the course with ten miles to go, Swanson led by over five minutes, but he had no idea he was that far ahead. ìI didnít [...]
