The powers that be, namely Major League Baseball said the Minnesota Twins shouldn't be allowed to continue. They claimed the Twins wouldn't be a viable franchise; didn't have a big payroll, and so couldn't realistically hope to compete for a post-season spot.

The flaw in this type of reasoning has since become all too obvious because the reasoning was based on contractions.

The Twins, as you suggest, put all the naysayers to shame during the 2002 season.

I thought you might like to see my list of the five "greatest baseball moments" as follows:

1. Judge Landis' Black Sox Decision: It set a standard for the sport that still holds.

2. Mighty Casey's Epic Strikeout: It may never have happened, but everyone has a vivid image of it in their mind.
