It would have been nice if, 25 years after their great seven-game World Series, the Twins and Atlanta had done something this season other than combine for 196 losses this season. But it didn't happen and a wise fan is smart to excise the memories of this season as quickly as possible.
To help with that, it felt like a good time to think back to 25 years ago today, when Kirby Puckett ended Game 6 of the World Series with one of the best-remembered moments in Twins history. Most of us have heard the Jack Buck -- "And we'll see you tomorrow night" call -- more than a few times.
