Star Tribune columnist Patrick Reusse joined host Michael Rand for a three-pronged look at baseball in Minnesota.
Twins to townball: Patrick Reusse on three levels of Minnesota baseball
They started with the Twins, who won the final two games of their series in Philadelphia — aided by superb starting pitching from Pablo Lopez and Sonny Gray — to restore faith and a 4.5-game lead in the American League Central. Reusse asks an interesting question: Why not bring back Gray, an impending free agent, for 2024 and beyond?
Next up are the Saints, and a history that goes back to Midway Stadium and years of independent baseball. A recent documentary helps tell that story, and Reusse gives his review.
And finally, it's townball state tournament time in Minnesota. The small town tradition has a large anniversary — 100 years — and Reusse has some great stories to tell.
