ALL RIGHT, FRIENDS, IT IS TIME FOR HISTORY.
MINNESOTA HISTORY.
DIEHARD BASEBALL FANS KNOW THAT TODAY WAS THE HOME OPENER FOR OUR MINNESOTA TWINS.
SO THE PRODUCERS DECIDED WE'RE LEGALLY REQUIRED TO ASK A QUESTION RELATING TO BASEBALL.
THERE'S A NICE SHOT OF TARGET FIELD WHERE THE TWINS WON 10-4 TODAY.
YES, THEY WON THEIR HOME OPENER!
OUR QUESTION INVOLVES A BASEBALL GAME THAT MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE BEEN PLAYED AT TARGET FIELD, BUT IT DOES INVOLVE AN OPENING DAY OF SORTS FOR THE MYSTERY PERSON IN QUESTION.
ON THE FIRST DAY THIS PERSON "WORKED" FOR THE TWINS AT THE MAJOR LEAGUE LEVEL, THE VERY FIRST THING HE OR SHE DID WOULD BECOME A SIGNATURE PART OF THEIR CAREER.
THE DUBIOUS HONOR WOULD LAND THEM IN A TOP TEN LIST OF OTHERS WHO SHARED THEIR PROFESSION.
OUR QUESTION: WHO AM I?
AND WHAT DID I DO IN MY FIRST PERFORMANCE FOR THE MINNESOTA TWINS?
WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU WHETHER YOU ARE CALLING FROM STRIKE LAKE, RADKE LAKE, OR MOLITOR LAKE, A WETLAND JUST SOUTH OF SAUK CENTER.
651-229-1430 IS THE NUMBER TO CALL WITH ALL OF YOUR PITHY ANSWERS.
IF YOU'D RATHER TYPE THAN TALK, DROP US A LINE.
ALMANAC@TPT.ORG IS THE ELECTR
