"We will see you tomorrow night"
Not to be outdone but game 7 was the ultimate pitchers duel in which Jack Morris pitched 10 shutout innings.... YES 10...no one does that anymore. Finally, the Twins got on the board in the bottom of the tenth to win this magical world series and start labeling the Atlanta Braves as the ultimate tease....
"The Twins are going to win the World Series"
The Twins also won the World Series in 1987 but this World Series definitely topped it.
Sadly the Metrodome grew old and started falling apart and the "Big Hanky" started phasing itself out of existence, first with the Twins in 2009 and then the Vikings moved on in 2013. The Twins built themselves a beautiful outdoor facility and moved to Target Field in 2010. Of course my timing was impeccable, and I went to the Metrodome in 2009 while they were counting down the days they had left in there...
It is hard to be a fan of indoor roofed baseball....you have to have some sightlines and views of the city to be considered higher on this list...When your excitement is brought in by really loud speakers on the big hanky on the roof... We have issues...
The Metrodome had its moments but at that point in 2009, it was done and a few years later it really showed its age when snow made the roof collapse... Also it had revolving doors when you walked in to the stadium which was weird because it felt like you were being sucked in and out of the stadium every time you walked through those doors... The Metrodome falls in at 29 and let it RIP with its amazing memories of 1991...
