fantana...





yesterday i took the family to the twins game where we witnessed a record-setting performance by twins ace johann santana. "mantana" struck out a club record 17 batters, and gave up only 2 hits (both to sammy sosa) in eight innings. for a baseball aficionado like myself, it was fun to sit back in my usual seat in section 123, row 12 behind the dish and watch this masterful performance. the twins anemic offense managed only 1 run (a solo shot by michael cuddyer) but it was enough to win and take the rubber game of the series vs texas.
on a side note, we had a slight brush with fame as my wife found herself directly under the left armpit of local and national celebrity, writer, and radio personality, garrison keillor, on the train ride back to fort snelling. i had a spectacular view of his ample ear hair as well. i tried to snap a discreet picture from my phone.
more soon...
