Dang looks like we caught it too...

[MLB Nerds @MLBNerds]

The AL Central better watch out, because the juggernaut offense in Minnesota is coming.

If they add a couple of bullpen pieces at the deadline, and perhaps an additional infield bat, they could easily make a run at the division.

Outnumbered at least 6 to 1, the 1st Minnesota Volunteer Infantry suffered 82% casualties when they heroically charged headlong into enemy forces to shore up a gap in Union lines during the Battle of Gettysburg on this date in 1863.

The role these brave Minnesotans played in preserving the United States of America cannot be overstated.

General Winfield Scott Hancock said that "no soldiers on any field, in this or any other country ever displayed grander heroism," and insisted that "there is no more gallant deed recorded in history."

In a speech in Cannon Falls, MN on the Fourth of July 1928, President Calvin Coolidge said these men's heroism that day entitled them to the rank of "saviors of their country."

The next day, the survivors from the 1st Minnesota helped repel Pickett's Charge and lost another 17 killed and wounded.

Minnesota is in possession of a blood-stained, bullet-pierced Virginia battle flag captured July 3rd.

Virginia has been asking for it back for over 100 years.

Governor Jesse Ventura's response at the White House in 2000: “Why? I mean, we won. … We took it. That makes it our heritage.”

@AlexMicheletti Side note: those breezers the Oilers wore are awful. Look like skating in khakis.
