And Now There's One

Well, Sunday is the final day of baseball's regular season. In the American League Central Division, with 161 games gone, it comes down to the final day.

Today the Twins won; the Tigers lost.

So it comes to Game 162 for both. The Tigers at home against the White Sox and the Twins at home against the Royals. Here's how it looks:

• Twins win-Tigers lose it's the Twins in 1st place heading to play the Yankees.
• Both win or both lose and it's a tie breaking game 163 on Tuesday at the Metrodome.
• Twins lose and Tigers win it's the end of the season for the Twins.

And on top of it all, tomorrow will also be the final scheduled regular season game in the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome. After all these years playing ball inside the Twins new stadium will open in the spring.

Back in April, my daughter and I decided to go to tomorrow's game. Even then, the best seats available through the Twins was in the next to the top row.

Actually, just about the same place where my wife and I sat for the playoff game with the Yankees five years ago. (As seen at left.)


Anyway, we never thought we would be there for such an exciting game. Will post when it's all over.
