#BLEACHERTWEETS The saying is baseball is "hope spring eternal." However, as a Twins fan, between the trade deadline and now the Pohlads keeping the team, I feel pessimistic that they will prioritize winning over the bottom line any season soon. Is there good reason to hope?
@MNTwinsZealot@sternavitch The building in the bottom-right - the Marriott - looks somewhat under construction. I did a little Googling: the building was built in 1969, so I'm guessing this photo was taken then (or *maybe* in 1968 if it opened early in '69)?
@RossOnRadio Our station up here in western Wisconsin (WISM) is gonna air it right at 9 CDT, as well (we're giving it a fairly strong promotional push starting today).
@Buster_ESPN As a fellow Vikings fan...yeah, the wait for a Super Bowl is interminable. We need at least one title! For MLB: is there a fanbase that most "deserves" a championship? Is it for a team that's never won, or a team with a long drought? #bleachertweets#pearsonpushed
@lost_ballparks Just started listening, and the music in the intro...that sounds like it's from a 1970s TV baseball broadcast. I can't place it -- what network was it?
@Buster_ESPN On divisional realignment, could an NHL-style version work: 4 divisions of 8 teams (echoes of the 1969-93 MLB divisions)? Very unlikely to see sub-.500 champs, and the best of the rest (4+ per league) would be wild cards, probably also all above .500? #bleachertweet
Today In 1952: The Boston #Braves sign 18-year-old Henry Aaron and assign him to the Eau Claire Bears (Class C). He’ll play second base & be named the Northern League Rookie of the Year! #MLB#Baseball#History
@RossOnRadio Ironically, I noted the Springsteen/John Cafferty thing for my radio show today before reading this article!
Also, another example of mididentifying: in 1986, I thought Elton John's closing chorus part on "That's What Friends Are For" was James Ingram (admittedly when I was 7).
@RichRollD @DanKasper@SportsTalk1051 The irony for '91 is that I *hated* the grunge thing. It took my a long time to get an appreciation for its role in music history. Not that I was strongly pro-hair metal either -- I just wanted '80s synthy stuff all the time. Also, I was 13.
