Small-market Twins can play spoiler to mighty Yankees in AL wild card

in sports •  7 years ago 

They tried to contract them.

And the baseball world watched in merriment as they became irrelevant, even giving up on themselves at this year’s trade deadline.

Well, here are the Minnesota Twins, still standing, and looming as baseball’s greatest nightmare, threatening to devastate the TV ratings and marketing campaign.

The team that Major League Baseball and its former ownership couldn’t kill off is on Broadway, facing the powerful New York Yankees at 8 p.m. ET Tuesday (ESPN) in a winner-take-all American League wild-card game at Yankee Stadium.

If the Twins win and advance to play the Cleveland Indians, that screaming sound you’ll hear will be from the folks on Park Avenue and in the TV studios.
