Former Twins great Tony Oliva gets stuck in a Metrodome bathroom

The move to Target Field really can't come soon enough.

The Metrodome has played host to two World Series champions and countless memorable baseball games with odd bounces. But until yesterday, we do not believe it had trapped one of the Twins' all-time greats in one of its bathrooms.

We offer this tweet from the official Twitter feed of the Twins -- as well as this follow-up sent to us directly after an inquiry: Yup, it happened on the Executive Level in the Dome yesterday. -- as evidence that the move to Target Field can't come soon enough. And, well, that it came a week too late for Tony Oliva.
