The Twins played their last game tonight in the Metrodome and lost it to the Yankees in the American League Division Series. A brilliant win over Detroit last Tuesday was to be their last hurrah in Minneapolis before two losses in Yankee Stadium and tonight's end of the season. Next April they begin anew in an outdoor stadium that is also, blessedly, downtown.
The Metrodome is only 27 years old and is still home to the Vikings, though they are making threatening sounds about wanting their own new place. Anyway, it is over there for the Twins after two World Series wins--1987 and 1991, the last one one of the best Series ever played.
Thanks for the memories, Minnesota Twins.
On another note, I saw the Beach Boys perform at the Dome in 1984, and Bob Dylan with the Grateful Dead a few years later. They can't take that away from me.
