The American League not only lost the All-Star Game…

I am in no way, a fan of the New York Yankees, but loving the game itself, I respect the greats of the game, no matter what uniform they wore.

 

This week, the Yankees lost two legends, George Steinbrenner and Bob Sheppard.

 

Derek Jeter’s walk to the plate:

 

“Now batting, for the New York Yankees, the shortstop, numbah 2, Derek Jeter, numbah 2.”

 

That was a powerful moment.

 

Now, being a Twins fan, we have lost the same legends that the Yankees had (I am in no way making it a competition). Our legendary PA announcer died a few years ago, his name was Bob… Bob Casey… who rarely missed a game. He was famous for…

 

Kirbbbbyyyyyyyyyyyy Puckett!!!!!!!

 

and…

Christian GUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUZMAAAAAAAAAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

We also last season, lost Carl Pohlad. He was another man who brought his team into a 180 fashion and made them a more fearfull team.
