Ironically, just last night - while Drunk-a-thon got the headlines - Twins
fans gave a standing ovation to N.Y. Yankees outfielder Paul O'Neill, who
recorded his 2,000th hit. That's the kind of class the OTHER 36,000 Twins
fans showed, compared to the couple dozen boors who got the headlines.
We still have good parents in Minneapolis...and some of them are even ball
fans.
