2. No sweat
I love baseball. If I could find a way to make it my occupation (in some form) I would. Thanks for reading my rant as well.

3. Pohlad is a jerk
I really do like and respect the twins a lot. I remember when at the HHH dome, they gave Ripken a standing O for 3000 hits, I found that classy.

4. Our fans do that kind of thing
its the "Minnesota Nice" thing. But do not get on the freeway...all that "Minnesota Nice" goes away in a big hurry.

About the only sports figure I have seen not get a good reception in Minnesota was Chuck Knoblauch when he played outfield with the Skankees. People booed him and were throwing stuff at him. The umpires almost called the game (the Twins were ahead) and the Twins would have forfeited that game. I think around 30 people were actually arrested for the stuff that happened at that game.

5. Minnesotans are a good bunch
Met many good ones here on the boards and a couple in real life.
