@Patrick_Reusse @TwinsAlmanac In 1977, as a 9th grader at Willmar, I couldn’t wait to read each Sunday Star Tribune’s big list of MLB batting leaders. Hisle, Bostock and Carew all hit over .300 and Hisle with power, too! Royals were too tough though.

[Rahn Larson @RahnLarson]

@KFANRosen Especially with guys coming off injuries, etc., The Wolves depth could be really valuable in the first series, especially.

[Rahn Larson @RahnLarson]

@Patrick_Reusse Not saying I disagree, but it would be great if Sid were around to weigh in on this one.

[RandBall @RandBall]

Epic series.

Baseball the game is alive and well.

Baseball the business is broken, perhaps beyond repair.

Dodgers are deserving champs and a symbol of all that is wrong.

[Rahn Larson @RahnLarson]

Louie Varland is heading to the World Series! 👍

@thorku It would be good to know these coach’s’ records after removing directional schools and larger schools with sub. 500 records.
