Metrodome Magic!

Turns out, the Dome wasn't ready to be done after all!  Game #163 (as it will forever be known) will be, without a doubt, an Instant Classic to be shown and shared for many years to come.  The emotional tug-of-war finally ended in the bottom of the 12th as Carlos Gomez raced around third to score on Alexi Casilla's base hit to right, but Twins fans (and Tiger fans) will tell you that was just the tip of iceburg on a night that will never be forgotten.

The line-drive double play in the Ninth.  Nic Punto's running throw Home.  Brandon Inge's diving stop at Third.   Cuddyer's Triple.  Ryan Raburn's throw to the Plate.  All incredible moments that will forever be a part of baseball lore.

And now, the Second Season starts.  11 wins.  That's all it takes to be a World Champion.  11 wins on a path that winds directly through the hills of Hollywood, the bright lights of Broadway and right past a Dome that refused to go quietly into the night.
